Chastity announce their new album, "I Built This Prison Myself," coming November 13, 2026 on Deathwish Inc. and Dine Alone Records in Canada.

Chastity is for the skids, the headbangers, the freaks, and anyone who has felt trapped inside a place, a life, or a version of themselves they didn't choose.

Since forming the project in Whitby, Ontario in 2015, Brandon Williams has built Chastity around a suburban feeling, creating songs as an outstretched hand and building community as a way of surviving.

On "I Built This Prison Myself," Williams turns to a story that has haunted his hometown for generations: the Whitby Psychiatric Hospital and a 1976 fire set by a 16-year-old patient who burned down a massive barn on the hospital grounds. The record imagines the boy behind the fire not simply as a symbol of destruction, but as a young person confronting fear, powerlessness, control, and the hope to remain himself.

The album's title is both accusation and admission. "I Built This Prison Myself" asks what happens when the forces that confine us become internalized, when survival mechanisms harden into walls, and when the parts of ourselves we fought to protect begin to resemble the things keeping us trapped.

Across its ten songs, the record moves through melodic hardcore, shoegaze, and punk with characteristic urgency.

Watch "Misled Youth"

Chastity began throwing shows in a barn on the rural outskirts of Whitby when there were few spaces for independent punk music in their hometown. Before long, bands including PUP and METZ were making the trip to play, with proceeds from the shows benefiting a regional youth mental health service.

In the years since, Chastity have toured internationally with artists including Sunny Day Real Estate, Alexisonfire, and Deafheaven.

"I Built This Prison Myself" follows the progression from the conceptual mortality of "Death Lust," through the anxiety of "Home Made Satan," the search for happiness on "Suffer Summer," and the deeply autobiographical "Chastity." This time, Williams turns outward again, using a story from Whitby's past to examine questions that remain painfully present today.
