Prayer for the Unborn

Chelsea Wolfe

Five tracks of skeletal neofolk and industrial hiss. A ghostly, lo-fi reimagining of Rudimentary Peni songs that feels like a séance in a basement.

A profound, ghostly stillness punctuated by moments of industrial unease.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the brief ambient noise of A Handful of Dust into the skeletal, echoing guitar of Echo.
The way the vocals on the title track Prayer for the Unborn seem to float away into a void of feedback.
The sudden, jarring industrial-tinged percussion that disrupts the acoustic fragility of Dissolution.
