How foolish I was to think that Chelsea Wolfe would never match Abyss, and that she would do it with such a statement as Hiss Spun! While not as overtly dark or metallic as Abyss, this is in many ways her most powerful yet most nuanced album to date. What is equally remarkable is that this is very accessible despite being another example of Wolfe’s signature musical reinvention, in which she once again blends multiple genres with frightening skill. Not a dud in the bunch, you need this album. Ippocalyptica
I saw Emma perform solo in Chicago 3/4/20 with Intronaut and cult of Luna. It was an amazing bare bones set. I really enjoy all her releases but Marked for Death holds a special place for me and now I’ve got the vinyl. Grab a ticket for this tour if you can to see her perform intimate solo versions of her songs. Dean Martinez
