Stabbing Westward Journey

The band was the creation of Christopher Hall and Walter Flakus. They started this music band when they were students. During their college days, they came up with this idea and succeeded to give it a name. However, the Stabbing Westward got the desired success after the release of UnGod. The band focused on the lead vocals and bass guitar. It received the desired recognition from the following releases.

During this phase, the band had many well-known musicians and performers. A few of them are Stuart Zechman and David Suycott. The producer of UnGod was John Fryer, and it was recorded at Eden Studios, England. UnGod was released in 1994. Even if UnGod became popular across, the band experienced many changes. Some singers left the band due to personal differences, and the band thought of doing something new to regain popularity and reach more people. With this attempt, it released Wither Blister Burn & Peel.
