Stabbing Westward rise again? 2014-12-31 by Trey STAFF | 13 Comments | Industrial/Alt. Rock artists, The Dreaming, will be releasing their third album on February 10th. The album is titled Rise Again and features the first collaboration between Chris Hall (vocals) and Walter Flakus (keyboards, programming) since the self-titled Stabbing Westward release.
According to Chris Hall, the album is a return to the intense and haunting industrialized alt. rock that made Stabbing Westward famous.
Stabbing Westward was an American industrial rock band formed in 1989 by Christopher Hall (lead singer) and Walter Flakus (keyboards, programming). The band went through several different lineups during their thirteen year career. Christopher and Walter are the only original members. The pair was renowned as the song writing team behind most of Stabbing Westward's radio hits including "Save Yourself", "Shame", "So Far Away Nothing", "Lies" and "Violent Mood Swings". After four albums that included two gold records and eight years of touring with such music greats as Depeche Mode, the Sex Pistols, Kiss, Killing Joke, Front 242, Placebo and the Cult; Stabbing Westward formally broke up February 9, 2002. The Dreaming – is a reunion of Stabbing Westward's founding members. The songwriting team is back with singer, Christopher Hall and keyboardist Walter Flakus, along with the one-time Stabbing Westward drummer Johnny Haro. The band is rounded out with Deadsy / Orgy guitarist Carlton Bost and bassist Brent Ashley from Static X. The Dreaming’s previous releases include the single “Every Trace,” from their second record "PUPPET" which climbed the U.S. rock charts in 2012. "Ugly" was released in 2007 and "Etched in Blood" was featured on the Electra soundtrack. The band toured with acts such as Trust Company, Flaw and Trapt. The new album titled “Rise Again” was Chris Hall's choice. He wanted to deliver an album that brought back the early Stabbing Westward sound that fans have been asking for. Although the name Stabbing Westward is now dead and buried, the founders of the band are pleased to "Rise Again" as The Dreaming with the intense and haunting music that made them a multi-platinum band. "Rise Again" will be released in February world-wide on Metropolis Records.

The Dreaming was always like a punky/edgier version of Whither, Blister-era Stabbing Westward. Now with Stabbing Westward's keyboardist/programmer involved the band sound like a Darkest Days version of Stabbing Westward with stronger songwriting.

I guess, it won't become a thing i hate.
| | |
Ha ha. Well played.
| | |
Oh this could be good! Darkest Days kicks balls so hard!
| | |
Darkest Days is such a great record. And the first Stabbing Westward album is awesome too. Great news, I always liked this band.
| | |
Excellent news, Darkest Days is such a dark album.
| | |
So Far Away and Nothing are two different songs.
Otherwise yea excited for this
| | |
"Puppet" is already great so it is even more promising if they go back to a sound closer to the one of the stabbing westward.
| | |
I'm Ron Burgundy?
| | |
This has my interest.
| | |
How ironic. I've been listening to Darkest Days all day n' randomly log on here to find this fun news.
| | |
Yep, and I've watched "anchorman" for the first time this week after seeing Deviant's remark and without knowing the film tells the legend of Ron Burgundy.

-- the band sound like a Darkest Days version of Stabbing Westward with stronger songwriting.
Need to listen to this album.
