2015, Stabbing Westward was an American industrial rock band formed in 1989 by Christopher Hall (lead singer) and Walter Flakus (keyboards, programming). 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 band toured with acts such as Trust Company, Flaw and Trapt. The new album titled RISE AGAIN was Chris Halls 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.
