Description
On Chastity's upcoming, self-titled fourth record, Williams decided to write a fully non-fiction work. Out Friday, September 13 2024 on Deathwish (US), Dine Alone (Canada), and Big Scary Monsters (UK/E) 'Chastity' is a 13-track record about the things that have always run through the band's records-struggle, death, despair, redemption, darkness, and light-but this time, the songs ascend to new depths of intensity and desperation, new heights of resolution and power.
"It's really about the first nosedive that I did as a young person," says Williams. "It's a record about struggle, about the missing years. It's also a thank you to some people in my life."
The record hurtles through melodic hardcore, shoegaze, and emo, all magnificently and enormously rendered thanks to slick work from John Paul Peters (Propagandhi, Comeback Kid), who engineered and mixed the record. Chastity's first three full-length records-2018's Death Lust, 2019's Home Made Satan, and 2022's Suffer Summer-formed a trilogy that defined a 4-year arc of the band's contribution to outsider music. Each record was informed by Williams' life, but each was also conceptual and interpretive, refracting his experiences through a level of remove. On the self-titled record there's a beautiful and affirming ending to it's closer, centered on the band's first and enduring idea: life is less shitty if we live it together.
