"White Widows Pact's mix of contemporary hardcore and sludgy Southern metal are the exception to the rule that
metalheads and punks can't get along." –Alternative Press
"Hardcore peppered with Crowbar's Obedience Thru Suffering..."–Revolver
(August 7, 2015 – Toronto, ON) – Brooklyn metallic hardcore outfit White Widows Pact will see their highly
anticipated debut full-length True Will released on October 16, 2015 via New Damage Records in North
America. The album will be available to pre-order on August 21. Fans who pre-order the album digitally will
receive the first single “The Watch” as an instant grat track. “The Watch” recently premiered via Noisey and
can now be heard/shared HERE.
Recorded and mixed at The Wild Arctic in Portsmouth, New Hampshire with Dean Baltulonis (Sick of It All,
Modern Life Is War) and mastered by Brad Boatright (Nails, High on Fire), True Will, is the follow up record to
the bands 2013 self-titled debut EP.
On their debut full-length, White Widows Pact does its hometown proud. Named one of 2015's "100 Bands
You Need to Know" by Alternative Press earlier this year, White Widows Pact now officially earns that
title. New York hardcore, '90s death metal, and Southern sludge unite in a storm of grooving power that nods
to Madball, Obituary, and Crowbar. A wall of strings, a machine of a drummer, and frontman David Castillo in
maniac-mode – White Widows Pact owns a sound that recalls the glory days of Earache and Roadrunner, as
well as the glory days of New York City, boosted by present-day hardcore energy and lyrics which plumb the
existential depths of urban life.
Guest appearances on True Will include, Liam Cormier of Cancer Bats, Sara Taylor of Youth Code, Aaron
Heinold of Hivesmasher, and Leech of Theologian. The album's artwork is a collaboration between tattoo
artist Dan Bones and photographer Meg Wachter.
White Widows Pact is comprised of Castillo (Primitive Weapons), drummer Kenny Appell (Goes Cube,
Cleanteeth), bassist Brian Ponto, and guitarists Nick Emde (The Destro) and Travis Bacon (Grudges).
Having toured with the likes of Earth Crisis, Shai Hulud, Black Breath, and Full of Hell, White Widows
Pact will embark this month on a short East Coast U.S run. For tour dates, see below.
