Stabbing Westward has inked a new record deal and will release a new album titled Wasteland, the industrial rock act’s first full-length LP in nearly 20 years.
The news follows the early 2020 release of the band’s comeback EP, Dead & Gone. So far, there’s no release date or tracklist, but Stabbing Westward plan to unveil the album and at least one single in 2020.
To record the new LP, Stabbing Westward is reteaming with producer John Fryer, who helmed the band’s early albums Ungod and Wither Blister Burn & Peel.
Stabbing Westward frontman Christopher Hall said, “I was so excited to have the opportunity to go back to the very roots of Stabbing Westward by working with John again . . . Even though this is our fifth full length, after such a long break it feels like a new beginning and it’s very cool to have John at the helm once again.”
After scoring hits on rock radio in the 1990s with songs like “What Do I Have To Do?,” “Shame” and “Save Yourself,” Stabbing Westward broke up in 2002. They reunited to play shows again beginning in 2016. Dead & Gone marked the band’s first release of new music since 2001’s self-titled album.
