Dec 14, 2017Absolutely stunning record. Love the combination of Wolfe's haunting vocals with the sludge metal sound. Bears little comparison to anything else, but definitely has the weirdness and heaviness of Soundgarden, and at times the atmosphere created resembles 2:54 or early Tamaryn. Standout tracks: Twin Fawn, The Culling.

Sep 27, 2017Unlike anything I've ever heard before. Noisy, beautiful, dense & jarring all balanced masterfully. Songs assault you out of seemingly nowhere. Somehow both incredibly beautiful and exceedingly ominous. I would argue that this is her best album yet

Sep 22, 2017This album is so bright, noisy and heavy that almost made my whole **** head crush right in the concrete. But it actually has it's beuatiful twisted moments, like in the song ''Offering'', or the amazing and disturbing interlude ''Welt''. I also love the concept of the lyrics in the album, makes a pretty great contrast with the aesthetic of the instrumental and the singing.

The WireDec 19, 2017While not as suck your frozen heart out bleak as her last album, Abyss, Hiss Spun explores metal's darkness on a more intimate scale. [Nov 2017, p.67]

Oct 25, 2017Hiss Spun is the first record from Chelsea Wolfe that commits entirely to the more catastrophic elements of her repertoire, and the results are equal parts stunning and terrifying.

MojoOct 24, 2017Wolfe is the epicentre of the maelstrom, a banshee wailing through songs called things like Welt and Scrape. [Dec 2017, p.94]
