Stabbing Westward is one of the most humble bands! I was 13 at the time and I would write to I guess you would call it their fan club, they sent me sign posters signed cards signed guitar pick a personally written card I couldn’t believe it. They really appreciated their fans, that was really lacking in that time period.

Great band, great video!!! So many awesome industrial bands helped me survive my youth: NIN, Stabbing Westward, Ministry, Machines of Loving Grace, Chemlab, Gravity Kills, PIG, KMFDM, Birmingham 6, Frontline Assembly, Skinny Puppy, My live with the thrill kill kult, Unit:187, etc. I'd love to watch videos on any of them. Thanx!!!! Also, It's a shame you didn't mention the video and song 'Shame', my favorite SW track and of on my favorite videos ever!!!

God bless the guys for actually embracing the term "Industrial". Industrial will always be my first love I just wish more of its pioneers actually like the term

The new album is amazing! I heard it nonstop from start to finish. It is very much like Wither, blister, burn, and peel where you can listen to it straight trough repeatedly or individually since its has many really good tunes that flow into each other really well. The artwork is killer too! I just ordered it on vinyl. I'm 42 and I feel like I'm 16 again lol! Wow!

Underrated band. Darkest Days is one of my favorite albums, and "Sometimes it Hurts" rocks your houses.

Since you covered Stabbing Westward, I would love to see you cover my absolute favorite industrial rock band, Gravity Kills. They only released three albums but they were all top notch and completely solid and it's kind of sad how they dissolved after their keyboardist got a hand injury and industrial rock fell out of vogue. I would have loved to see them continue to make the same type of music and release a few more albums.

I had one of their albums, it was pretty good. Vast was also a good later 90's industrial-ish group.

I think there's a part at the end worth mentioning that got missed. They did rekindle personally, but it wasn't just "other musical projects" happening during those years apart. Flakus was working at a Chicago radio station and Hall had started a pretty solid band called The Dreaming with some other notable artists from bands like Orgy and . For their (I believe) 3rd album Walter joined The Dreaming, and Hall had stated something like "Anything Walter and I work on together is going to be Stabbing Westward" and so their reuniting, and I believe a reunion tour with one of their old guitarists, and Haro having been their existing drummer already (and briefly their drummer back in 98), they basically just reformed Stabbing Westward at that point. Also, the video leaves out the entire drama of the name and part of why Hall used The Dreaming instead of Stabbing Westward during those years as one of the labels owned the name Stabbing Westward (I think Columbia) and that their breaking up after the 4th album, increased spending on tour buses, and a "rockstar lifestyle" left the band in debt, so any money made using the Stabbing Westward name had to be used to pay back that debt for the 4th album if it was going to be used at all. I believe in reforming the band, they were able to reach a financial agreement which is how they got the name back, began recording again and that leads us to the end where they released Chasing Ghosts.

I mean the thing about Walter joining The Dreaming turning the band into Stabbing Westward makes sense. I didn't like any of their other albums, but the album they did with Walter was phenomenal. It DID, in fact, sound exactly like Stabbing Westward.

Stabbing Westward was my first concert. Fall of 96 at the Newport Music Hall in Columbus Ohio. Drill was the opening act. Great set. I dyed my hair fire engine red and Christopher had the same color at the time

This was one of my ALL-time favorite bands in high school! I acquired a ticket to see them in Toronto in 1996-1997, but my parents wouldn't let me go, and it broke my heart! I still have the ticket stub! When I discovered they were releasing new music in March 2022, I was so surprised! I hope they tour again so I can FINALLY see them 20+ years later! I wish you covered more about them currently in this video. However, I really appreciate this video! THANKS!!!

Stabbing Westward are about as 1990s as they get. Love their music.

I have played with stabbing westward/ the dreaming and Chris is such an amazing person

I was actually just thinking "Whatever happened to Stabbing Westward?" the other day.

The funniest thing i heard on the radio in the early 2000s, a woman wanted to hear the song "shame" but didnt know the title so she asked the DJ to play the Stabbing Westward song that says "how can i have 53X without you" and he then played her soundbite on the air. She had to have felt brilliant.

To this day, one of my favorite bands of all time. I was a senior when the local radio station had a call in contest to meet them. The question was so sacrilegious to me at the time: Name all of Stabbing Westwards albums. These were my Bibles! How could someone not know them? I converted so many friends to fans like a good evangelist. Great band live and genuine people. I am looking forward to the new album and tour. I just hope they come to my neck of the woods.

My first exposure was in the mountains above SLC when Stabbing opened for Depeche in the 90s. Their live performance was electric and emotional and their Ungod and WBBP albums played a huge part in my musical journey growing up.

Thanks for the story! Glad to see they’re back together. Can’t wait to hear the new record!

Happy to see a video on these guys. They were one of my absolute favorites as a kid in the 90’s. Still are!

This was great! Thank you very much.

Stabbing Westward has been my favorite band for decades. So excited to listen to their new album.

I remember finding a copy of the Ungod album in my eldest brothers car when I was 12 and just falling in love with it. Listened to it for months. A few years later, I start seeing the video for "What do I have to do" on MTV and I honestly wasn't THAT fond of it. Then they started playing the video for "Shame " and as an angsty goth girl that was going through a breakup, the lyrics really resonated with me, lol. I went and got the album and even dug up Ungod again. This band played a huge role in my teen years. Loved the Darkest days album too. And Chris was ( and still is gorgeous) I still enjoy Stabbing Westward immensely as an adult,though nowadays the fact that nearly every song is about a breakup kinda makes me wonder if maybe that's what kept them from being taken as seriously...in the late 90s I remember reading some article online about the band that criticized them for this exact thing even going as far as saying that "SW was the goth kids version of Backstreet boys and N'sync" Wish I could find that article now as I recall being extremely offended by it as a teen, lol. While I understand a little bit of why they were compared to NIN, I never really thought they sounded alike at all. Wish you had mentioned Chris Halls band The Dreaming, a band he started on after SW broke up.

I liked Stabbing Westward's first two releases. I was getting into industrial rock, I'd been listening to Front 242, Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, and whatever was good on the Wax Trax label in the early 90s, and when Wax Trax broke apart/was acquired by TVT and KMFDM and other bands started getting more and more popular I picked them up too. Stabbing Westward and Gravity Kills were, IMO, *not* "one-hit wonder" bands but expressions of the genre breaking out and changing. But Reznor's always been kind of a...hm, well, he's got opinions.

The Dreaming ended up having the same problems as Stabbing. They as a group were great but no one in the band wanted to go in the same direction with the music they thought The Dreaming should be playing. The drummer, Johnny Haro is one of my very best friends and he was Stabbing's last drummer before they broke up. The drummer for Stabbing got hurt rollerblading or something and they had four or five months of touring to do so after auditioning drummers, Johnny Haro finished the tour, he and Christoper became good friends and after the breakup Christopher asked Johnny if he wanted to start a band and The Dreaming was created. They wrote some great songs and had a lot of Stabbing fans supporting them. I believe they produced the record(s) themselves and had no major backing from any label and they paid for their own touring, went back to driving their own van with a trailer for gear and it was like starting over for seasoned professional musicians who had been used to tour busses and hotels, opening for big name bands, or headlining themselves. I hung out with those guys and would go to most of their shows. They had members come and go to bigger name bands. It was hard to know the difficulties they were having and some of that I believe was rights to play Stabbing songs as part of their set list and if they should or shouldn't. This is just my take of the events, from what I saw, heard, talked with them about. I'm sure there was more that I didn't know about that was going on.

A few years after Stabbing Westward broke up, Christopher founded another small band named "The Dreaming". I have a few of their albums and saw them in concert here in Cleveland when they were on tour. Then a few years later they started working on reforming Stabbing Westward.

They were doing some shows before the pandemic hit. Then it went into radio silence. I am glad they stuck it out and are releasing new music. I hope to see them if they come back out and tour.

These guys were AWESOME!! Now I know where they went 👍

These guys had some great music. Loved it. Great times in my life when this came out. Very fond memories.

This was very informative. I still have darkest days. Lost the others over the years.

Thanks for creating this video. Everyone knows at least one Stabbing song but don't know the band's name because Stabbing never got the acclaim and the recognition they should have. Very similar was the way The Dreaming couldn't get a break even though Christopher and Johnny and the other band members worked hard and sacrificed to get The Dreaming heard, it just wasn't the right time. I spent a lot of time with those guys as Johnny Haro is one of my very best friends since we were kids. If Johnny and or Christopher see this, I miss you guys, hope all is well?

Great documentary. In my preteen days, a couple years before Stabbing Westard got signed to Columbia, Walter Flakus was working at a radio station in Rockford, IL (home town of Cheap Trick). He was the week night DJ. I had become a huge fan of radio and wanted to get into it when college came around and beyond. I called Walter's request line every night and did character voices for his show. He went by the on-air name of "Rick Johnson". I had to do a 7th grade career report so I asked him if I could interview him. He was kind enough to invite me to the station and hang out with him and learn the ropes. I ended up doing that many times over a couple years and we became friends. After getting signed to Columbia and touring, whenever the band played in the area, a mutual friend and I would go see them and party with them after the show. Walt was the only one I got to know and I had conversations with Christopher a few times. They are such cool and nice guys and I'm so glad to see they are working together again.

Check out Stabbing Westward's comeback album, "Ghost", sounds like classic Stabbing Westward from the 90's but still somehow modern

Love their album Darkest Days, I remember spending one summer in the 90's listening to it all the time! They seemed to ride the wave of NiN popularity but did have their own originality to them! Thanks for the video!✌️

I love these longer 11 min videos

No mention of the fact that after being superstars, they owed the record labels a ton of money! The cost of touring and the entire gig made it impossible for them to be profitable! No mention of the band 'The dreaming" or the lead singer couch-surfing and creating a grassroots effort to do the music in an organic, authentic way. When you are as talented as these guys are, no matter what you call the band, people will listen and show up to their concerts! It's a shame that money and business have to mix with the music and creation aspect. It's the MC Hammer, Mike Tyson Entourage theory. The record parasites in the music industry attached themselves like fleas to these guys, robbing them of the millions they should have reaped. Just because they wrote awesome music doesn't mean they were savage business folks. I'm sure this has happened a thousand times to other bands, just sad that the creative process suffered.

I remember reading an article right about the same time they got back together about how they were on tour buses in the late-90s on the success of their 2nd and 3rd albums and at the end of the tour, they were something like $1 million in the hole, so now they're back to doing gigs in a van and signing CDs while driving between stops. They also had minimal crew when I saw them last, so they're definitely a more frugal touring band now.

Darkest Days was a masterpiece. I love the album cover and each songs on it. Still on heavy rotation on my playlist.

I've seen these guys a couple of times at the Cold Waves festival in Chicago and they still put on an absolute banger of a show.

I was lucky enough to meet Chris on two separate occasions when I was a teenager in Los Angeles. He was a great guy and I am seeing them in Vegas next week. Stabbing Westward is one of the greatest bands of all time.

Got to see them live in California on their reunion tour. Bucketlist band to see live as they have made more than a small impression on me, including influencing my music. It's unfortunate Chris was diagnosed with throat cancer recently, heartbreaking news.

Shame is such a great song, there's a frenetic energy that carries a tension through it that's unlike almost any other song. It's like always moving without any breaks and you have to just hang on for the ride.

I'm headed out the door to go see Stabbing Westward live at the Neighborhood Theatre Charlotte NC tonight! 🤘🎸

They were a band that I remember. The industry took it out on them for sounding like NIN. I think there was plenty to salvage and could have developed a unique sound to set them apart. Especially the vocals.

One of my favorite bands of all time

Just introduced my GF to them 2 days ago! So funny this popped up. Shame is an epic song.

I wasn't huge into this band, but "Shame" was a favorite song of mine back in 97-98.

Save Yourself is one of my all time favorites!

Stabbing Westward was one of my favorite bands from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s. They would often be the one industrial gothic metal band similar to Nine Inch Nails and Ministry that was nothing but raw power on official movie soundtracks and scores. I started collecting soundtracks from movies whenever they had Stabbing Westward as one of the music bands featured on the list of contributors. Johnny Mnemonic, Mortal Kombat, Duke Nuke'em, John Carpenter's Escape From L.A., and Masterminds all had Stabbing Westward on their soundtracks. There was even a short-lived similar band named Apartment 26 that I had gotten into simply because they sounded like Stabbing Westward.
