Widowmaker were a British hard rock band[1] and active from 1975 to 1977. They were considered by many to be a supergroup and released two albums. Although their influences appeared to offer vast creative possibilities, musical and personality differences led to their break-up.[2] The legacy of Widowmaker is captured on the compilation Straight Faced Fighters (2002) released by Castle; it includes tracks from both of their albums.[3]
