Charlotte Wessels announces new album ‘Tales From Six Feet Under Vol II’

CHARLOTTE WESSELS has announced a new album!

Titled Tales From Six Feet Under Vol II, the upcoming album from the former DELAIN singer is the follow-up to last year’s Tales From Six Feet Under, and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Napalm Records.

Akin to the previous solo record, instruments and vocals were performed/programmed and produced by Wessels herself in her very own Six Feet Under Studio.

Speaking about the upcoming new solo outing, Wessels says, “since May 2020, I’ve been writing and recording a new song every month down in my basement Six Feet Under Studio, fueled by – and released to – my tight-knit Patreon community. This album wouldn’t be there without them. I’m excited to team up with Napalm Records again to release a new collection of these tracks with a wider audience.

With Tales From Six Feet Under, I released my favorite tracks of the first year of this endeavor onto the world in 2021, and Tales From Six Feet Under Vol II is its counterpart, with my favorite tracks from the second year. There are definitely differences between the two, with the second leaning more towards the heavier side, but they do belong together.

Together they represent a time of introspection and solitary songwriting in the basement. A time that has taught me a lot and has been very meaningful to me, but also a time that, as I started this project in the middle of Covid quarantine, has already – thankfully – started changing. Not because I won’t be writing and recording Six Feet Under anymore, but because as the world is opening up again, I too will come out of the basement and out of my shell again with live concerts, and collaborations are on the horizon.”

Alongside the announcement of the new solo album, CHARLOTTE WESSELS has released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Against All Odds. Speaking about the song and its accompanying video, she adds, “Against All Odds might seem like an odd choice for a first glimpse of this record – isn’t it the rule to start off with something upbeat and heavy? That rule is broken here – but it embodies the introspection and anticipation of starting over again. While the lyrics can be interpreted for many different scenarios – it was especially meaningful to record a video for the song on the empty stage of TivoliVredenburg, the setting of both the last gig I performed pre-Covid, and the first ever show with my new material coming up October 23. I am dying to get back out there.”
