BraveWords scribe Mark Gromen has checked in, reporting that Pure Steel Records will release the next installment from Widow entitled Carved In Stone on June 24th. 

From the label:

"Five years after Life’s Blood, the North Carolina outfit presents a brand-new album that will leave no one indifferent. Carved In Stone is the fifth album released over the last 13 years. This album marks the arrival of a new drummer, who joined the already established singers/guitarists John E. Wooten IV and Cristof Bennett. The band still plays a wonderful mix of traditional American-rooted hard rock and fine old-school metal. When listening to the songs, one cannot help but notice the qualities one would traditionally find in classics from Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, Van Halen or even hints of Lion, in a metal style that the band fully masters and even brings to new grounds. Widow will dazzle the listener with strong titles like 'Another Time And Place' or 'And We Are One'. Headbanging and fist pumping tracks like 'Wisdom' and 'Of the Blood We Bind' could even awake a dead body from its torpor. Then, like a rollercoaster, Widow slows the pace down with 'Time On Your Side', but soon sets all engines on again with songs like 'Borrowed Time' and 'Live By The Flame'."

Widow explores the neo-classical side of heavy metal and is proud to take their influences from their own experiences plus groups such as King Diamond, Crimson Glory, Warlord, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Yngwie Malmsteen. The morbid personality of each member comes together to form the unique sound of the band.
