Beyond the Boys’ Club is a monthly column from journalist and radio host Anne Erickson, focusing on women in the heavy music genres, as they offer their perspectives on the music industry and discuss their personal experiences. This month’s piece features an interview with singer-songwriter Chelsea Wolfe. 

Chelsea Wolfe connects with a spectrum of musical dynamics, from the heavy, distorted guitars of metal music to the intimate, sparse instrumentals of folk. On her upcoming album, Birth of Violence, Wolfe embraces her folk side with acoustic songs and themes that embrace her womanhood and strength in the world.

Chelsea Wolfe  – Birth of Violence (Sargent House) 

Chelsea Wolfe performs at The Cure’s handpicked Pasadena Daydream festival this weekend, and that makes complete sense. Of course Robert Smith and company, a group that have built a career on emotional, dark and weighty indie-goth anthems love Wolfe, a singer-songwriter capable of writing dark, lush lullabies that are both devastating and thrilling.

Russian Circles have been coasting on a surprising level of consistent excellence for a band now on their seventh release. Their previous record, Guidance, was a lovely marriage of impressive songwriting and impeccable production. I said that Russian Circles had finally delivered the album I always wanted them to write – not like they actually listened to me or anything, but these ears were particularly pleased with the results. So imagine my surprise when, nearly three years later, the trio deliver an even better record.

After more than a decade of work, RUSSIAN CIRCLES have created six album of highly atmospheric, weighty post metal. Since Guidance back in 2016, there’s been some a growing anticipation of new material, with fans relishing the three years of almost constant touring about the US and with various stints in Europe. Now, RUSSIAN CIRCLES return with their latest album, Blood Year. Coming off the back of that highly acclaimed back catalogue and prior to the release of their new album, we spoke to Brian Cook about the changes in the band’s tonal temperament, their changing lifestyles and what that all means for greater coherency going forward.
