Behind the Scenes of Chelsea Wolfe

Last week, LA-based Chelsea Wolfe made a stop in New York for her two sold-out shows in support of her latest record, Abyss, which definitely helped her gain a wider audience last year. Her music has been described as “gothic folk,” “dark ambient” and “drone metal,” but Wolfe says that she prefers to keep it experimental and not stick to a genre that’s easily defined. Paste photographer Julia Drummond stopped by Bowery Ballroom on Monday to document Chelsea and her brilliant band gearing up for the show.
