Goth-rock purveyor Chelsea Wolfe darkened last summer with the dense, decidedly metal Abyss, and it was excellent. Since then she’s planned a new two-track 7″ this April that comprises Abyss B-sides. The first offering was the chasmic, gloomy “Hypnos” and it moved away from the heavy-handed rock of the album with bare, stripped, but still ever so bleak soundscapes.
Today, she’s given “Hypnos” a visual treatment full of beautiful
despair to match the song perfectly. A deft play of light and shadows in
black-and-white, the video features Wolfe alternating between bathing
in darkness and basking in light as she eerily caresses huge snakes
coiled in her arms and wrapped precariously around her body. She
performs the song popping in and out of old school television screens
with staticky images. The darkness engulfs her, and the slow-lingering
shots are alluring, making the video an apt foray into the song’s title.
