Chelsea Wolfe will release her new album The Dark, on August 21 via Loma Vista Recordings, with CD and vinyl editions will follow on September 18. Along with the LP’s announcement, The multi-artist is sharing lead single “Cold.”

The Dark draws inspiration from the idea of entering the woods at the darkest point and becoming the thing you fear in order to feel more brave, Wolfe began writing with Jennifer Decilveo alongside long term collaborator Ben Chisholm, intentionally stripping away the sonic layers to give deserved space to what would become the finest songwriting of her storied career.

The album features contributions from Robin Finck (Nine Inch Nails), Matt Chamberlain (Pearl Jam), Troy Van Leeuwen (Queens Of The Stone Age), Stella Mozgawa (Warpaint), and Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Nine Inch Nails, St Vincent)

Wolfe will take the album road with a 43-date run across the US and Europe, running from September through the end of 2026. Joining Chelsea on the road will be Jonathan Hultén across the US dates and A.A. Williams throughout the European leg. Days ahead of the release of The Dark, Wolfe will perform the first live experience of its new music at an intimate show at London’s The Dome ahead of headlining the UK festival ArcTanGent.
