Any Stabbing Westward fans that haven't heard their new album (first in 20± years) it's incredibly worth checking out. It's like they never left.

@theunabeefer ooh thanks for the tip. Will hunt it down in Tidal!
@TrishaGreenie After getting Walter Flakus back for the third The Dreaming album, they got back rights to the SW name and brought back their original mixing, mastering, and production team... The entire album and the several EPs leading up to it thrilled me, finally hearing them like this again!
@TrishaGreenie Yeah they announced shortly after their 2001 album that they were starting work on a new one, then within a week announced their breakup. Much of the band (minus the drummer who owned the band name somehow) reformed as The Dreaming. Their first album, the label had a separate producer redo the album before release, stripping the industrial sound and making it sound glam, so the band wasn't happy about that.
@TrishaGreenie Apparently redraft didn't redraft for me........
The last 2 Dreaming albums sounded more like SW, and then they just got the name back and added a member of Orgy and a member of Static X.
@theunabeefer I didn't know any of the background or why they disappeared. Thanks for filling in the blanks! Looking forward to listening :)
