True Traitor, True Whore is the fifth full-length album by San Francisco-based one-man black metal band Leviathan.

Jef Whitehead, aka Wrest, was arrested on January 9, 2011 on charges of sexual assault and domestic violence. Wrest has confirmed in an interview^[4] that the events surrounding his arrest and the accuser have inspired the music and theme of True Traitor, True Whore. In May 2012, Wrest was found not guilty of all charges except for one count of aggravated domestic battery. ^[5]

A cassette version of True Traitor, True Whore was released on Inferna Profundus, limited to 300 copies.
