Widow Pit is probably the best hidden (so far) secret of the Athenian Heavy/Psych/Doom rock scene. The band actually began its activity in the distant 2011. Various problems and personnel changes slowed down the band’s pace and, apart from some sporadic live performances, they, so far, did not manage to record the album that would put them on the map for good.

The band's name is inspired by the historical toponym of Chirolakas in the maritime city of Galaxidi, Greece. The port of the same name was traditionally the place where widows mourned the lost fighters and sailors in the pre-revolutionary period and later in the years of the ship era. It literally means "the widow pit"!

The few who have listened to the band so far, have realized and loved their special Heavy/Psych/Doom rock, which is produced with a genuine rock ‘n’ roll attitude by the experienced members of the band (already active in bands like Devil Flower Mantis, Selefice, Lokruz, Wheelers and Weevil). After the pandemic, the band reactivated with some live shows and finally on April 5, 2025 they hit Downstroke studio with producer Thanos Amorginos (The Last Drive, The Earthbound) and recorded their first album, exactly as they envisioned, live in just eight hours!
