Chelsea Wolfe is dropping Abyss on August 7 via Sargent House and it's seemingly the heaviest, doom-laden thing she's ever done. Or at the very least we like it a lot! So check out the video for "Carrion Flowers" above and read Wolfe's explanation of the track, which makes it that much more interesting.
The visuals in the video allude to the drought in California and frustration about corporations being allowed to pump out all the water, destroying environments and communities, just to sell it back. While writing Abyss, I lived near where the water is piped into Los Angeles, but the lakes were dried up and the mountains were burned from fires. During filming we were exploring cracked lake beds and washed out roads – at one point I was laying in the middle of an abandoned canyon road with no chance of a car coming, and it was very surreal and quiet. I closed my eyes for a moment and when I opened them there were vultures circling overhead like I was some exotic roadkill, so we filmed them too.
