STABBING WESTWARD To Release First New Album In 20 Years, Chasing Ghosts By Larry Petro, News Monkey Tuesday, November 9, 2021 @ 12:58 AM
In celebration of the news, STABBING WESTWARD gives a taste of the upcoming material by sharing single “I Am Nothing” alongside a new lyric video. See it BELOW.
A number of limited-edition physical copies for “I Am Nothing” are available for sale HERE.
Chasing Ghosts will feature brand-new songs as well as re-workings of the band’s 2020 reunion EP Dead And Gone that finds original founding members Christopher Hall (vocals/guitar) and Walter Flakus (keyboards/programming) honing in on the incredible partnership that once produced a string of hits that dominated alternative radio and film soundtracks, including “Shame”, “Save Yourself” and “What Do I Have to Do?” – and resulted in two Gold records.
To recreate that original chemistry, the band recruited the legendary producer John Fryer to again helm Chasing Ghosts. Fryer, whose production credits include Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, 4AD, Cocteau Twins and Love And Rockets, originally worked with STABBING WESTWARD on their best-selling early releases Ungod (1994) and Wither Blister Burn + Peel (1996). Chasing Ghosts was also mastered by Tom Baker who, like Fryer, worked with STABBING WESTWARD on their early releases and is part of the reassembled production team on the latest album. The current STABBING WESTWARD band lineup includes Carlton Bost (guitars and programming) and Bobby Amaro (drums).
Says Walter Flakus, “It seems like we’ve been working on this album for a long time, trying to get it just right. With the help of John Fryer and COP International, everything fell into place. We are so excited for the world to finally hear the album. The single "I Am Nothing" is just the tip of the iceberg.”
Presales for Chasing Ghosts will begin in early January and fans are encouraged to sign up now for e-mail reminders. The album, featuring artwork by David Seidman (an artist who has also worked with COHEED AND CAMBRIA and is known for his ethereal and surrealistic imagery) will be available in digital, CD and vinyl formats, with full details and exclusive, limited-edition merch to be announced soon.
The full track listing for Chasing Ghosts is as follows:

Adds Christopher Hall: “It's great to be back, and working with John Fryer and Tom Baker again was awesome and felt like making a pure old-school STABBING WESTWARD album. I am excited to see how people will receive the new songs."
