Band information

Hailing from Melbourne, White Widdow was formed in 2008 by The Deadthings front man Jules Millis along with bassist Trent Wilson (also of The Deadthings) and guitarist Enzo Almanzi. From its inception the vision was always to write and perform 80's Arena style melodic rock and hard edged AOR inspired by artists such as White Sister, Survivor, Treat, Dokken, Aviator, Bon Jovi and Roxus.

It was soon clear they would require a full time keyboard player so the band enlisted the help of Jules' brother Xavier , a two time ARIA (Australian Record Industry Award) nominee and a well versed keyboard player in many musical styles. With Xavier onboard, the writing team was in place and the line-up was then completed with Jim Naish on drums. Starting out playing live amongst the diverse Melbourne rock scene, White Widdow quickly established themselves as a solid live unit throughout Australia. In mid-2009 White Widdow recorded and released their free digital only EP which was very well received in selected press.

Mixed and mastered by Martin Kronlund (Overland, Joe Lynn Turner, Hammerfall, Bangalore Choir) at JM Studios in Sweden, their debut self titled album was released October 29, 2010 in Europe on AOR Heaven/Metal Heaven Records. In late 2011, White Widdow embarked on a European tour.
