Stabbing Westward

Stabbing Westward was an American industrial rock and alternative rock band. They formed in 1985 in Chicago, Illinois and began recording in the 1990s.
The phrase "Stabbing Westward" first appeared in a 1950s newsreel film that declares "Soviet Russia was expansively stabbing westward, knifing into nations left empty by war."
Lead singer Hall has formed the L.A. based band The Dreaming.
The day before the band was to fly to Hawaii to record the follow-up to Darkest Days with producer Bob Rock, the band was dropped by Columbia Records.
The trio added Wax Trax recording artist Stuart Zechman on guitar and David Suycott on drums. In 1993, the band recorded in Eden Studios; London, England with producer John Fryer. This resulted in their major label (Columbia Records) debut, Ungod, which hit stores in 1994.
