Chelsea Wolfe has shared a new song.
Switching between crashing industrial soundscapes and haunting ambience, Diana is inspired by DC Comics' Wonder Woman and will feature on the upcoming soundtrack to DC's crossover comic series, Dark Nights: Death Metal. The singer said:
"It has been such an honour and delight to be involved in this whole project, from contributing a song to the soundtrack, to voicing Wonder Woman for the DC Comics Sonic Metalverse episodes. I really love the story and artwork of this Dark Nights: Death Metal series, and felt really drawn to Diana's part in the story - her strength and perspective.
"There’s this moment in the first comic book issue where she meets with Wally West and he’s so drained from his travels and all he’s had to do. I picked up on this intimate energy between them that felt almost romantic, but more just like two old friends who have an understanding between them - a moment of comfort and respite amongst all the fighting and chaos. I ended up writing this song about that encounter. Working with Tyler Bates on Diana was a great experience. He's obviously so killer at creating music that feels like the soundtrack to your own movie, so between him and my co-producer Ben Chisholm there was this elevated sonic landscape surrounding the song that just brought it to a different level."
It follows the two previously unveiled soundtrack singles; Maria Brink and Andy Biersack's Meet Me In The Fire, and Mastodon's Forged By Neron.
The collection also boasts original compositions from Denzel Curry, HEALTH with Deftones' Chino Moreno, Idles, and former Dillinger Escape Plan frontman Greg Puciato. It's out digitally on June 18, with a physical release set to follow on July 16.
Wolfe's latest album, 'Birth Of Violence', arrived in September 2019. She recently moved her Australian and New Zealand tour dates to 2022 due to the continuing COVID-19 restrictions. Head here for details.
