Stabbing Westward rises again as The Dreaming

Stabbing Westward are an American Industrial Rock band formed in 1989 by Christopher Hall (Vocals) 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, Sex Pistols, KISS, Killing Joke, Front 242, Placebo and The Cult, Stabbing Westward formally broke up on February 9th 2002.

The Dreaming is a reunion of Stabbing Westward's founding members, the songwriting team is back!!! Christopher Hall and Walter Flakus and they are joined by 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 / Wayne Static / Davey Suicide). The Dreaming’s previous releases include the single 'Every Trace' from their second record 'Puppet' which climbed the US 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 not to mention other great names. 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 Worldwide on Metropolis Records and is bound to be the most succesful one for the band to date and you can see this by the first single 'Alone' which will be released in November at shows. The band is delivering what they set out to do.
