Watch Chelsea Wolfe's Video for 'Carrion Flowers'

Ahead of her upcoming fifth album, Abyss, Chelsea Wolfe has released an aggressively brooding video for "Carrion Flowers," which you can watch below. The video was directed by Wolfe and bandmate Ben Chisholm. Wolfe explained the inspiration for the black and white clip, saying in a press release:

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.

Abyss is set for release on Aug. 7 via Sargent House. Wolfe will also embark on a North American tour from late August to early October. Check out those dates below.
