Performing during Tony "Dio" Leonard's Birthday Bash at The Pour House Music Hall in Raleigh, North Carolina on Friday March 11, 2016.

"Burning Star" is a brand new original song from Widow's fifth album titled "Carved In Stone"; released on June 24, 2016 on the Pure Steel Records label.

From Raleigh, North Carolina, the band formed in the winter of 2000 when guitarist Chris Bennett got together with John E Wooten IV to express their vision of metal. Robbie Mercer joined the lineup in 2015. As a staple of underground metal scene Widow has released four albums: "On Fire", "Nightlife", "Midnight Strikes Twice" and "Life's Blood".

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.

Metal Hammer magazine named Widow one of the leaders of the "New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal" and is recognized as a band at the front of the melodic metal uprising.
