Industrial rockers Stabbing Westward have announced a new 30th anniversary tour celebrating their gold-certified 1996 sophomore album “Wither Blister Burn + Peel“. Support on that run will come from Priest (ex-Ghost) and Acumen Nation. Additionally, Stabbing Westward have also taken the time to tease their upcoming new release, “Wither ReWired“, which they intend to have out later in the year.
That effort is said to be a complete re-recording of “Wither Blister Burn + Peel“, with vocalist/guitarist, etc. Christopher Hall stating of that undertaking:
“The idea of reimagining Wither triggered equal amounts of excitement and trepidation for me. How could we ever hope to improve upon those memories? Well we can’t. And we didn’t try. We chose to create new ones. I hope everyone makes some new memories to these new songs.”
Keyboardist, vocalist, etc. Walter Flakus added, “These songs feel aligned with where we’re at as a band today while embracing our original industrial foundation. Some of these songs never hit the way they were intended. They do now!”
