Chelsea Wolfe is a strong contender for my favorite artist of all time.

Her and the eponymous band's style is versatile, and, contrary to the views of some detractors, not chameleonic; all of her work is very dark and often gothic, but there are many different facets and angles of her own unique darkness that she comes at in her work. Genres she has explored include ethereal wave, dark folk, doom metal, and gothic rock.

In this ranking, I will list my favorite studio albums in reverse order. Underneath, I will rank my 50 favorite songs of hers.
