As the anticipation grows for the brand new Stabbing Westward album Chasing Ghosts to be released – the band’s first new LP in more than 20 years – the four-piece gives another taste of the new music with their latest single, “Ghost”.

Purchase the limited-edition “Ghost” single release here. Fans who buy the physical or digital edition of the single will be gifted with several additional tracks including remixes of “Ghost” led by Stabbing Westward frontman Christopher Hall and Assemblage 23, along with a reworking of early hit “Why”, from the 1996 RIAA Certified Gold album Wither Blister Burn & Peel.

“Ghost” is from the new album Chasing Ghosts that will be out March 18, 2022 via COP International Records. It features ten tracks that showcase the industrial rock band’s characteristic sound with a modern sheen that picks up right where they left off with their last full-length in 2001. With the new tracks, Stabbing Westward has not only managed to stay true to their original sound, but also expanded it to fit the frantic new reality of the 21st century.

Chasing Ghosts will feature brand-new songs as well as re-workings of the band’s acclaimed 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 Certified Gold records.

To recreate that original chemistry, the band recruited legendary producer John Fryer to 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 also includes Carlton Bost (guitars and programming) and Bobby Amaro (drums).

With artwork by David Seidman (who has worked with Coheed And Cambria and is known for his ethereal and surrealistic imagery), formats include digital, six-panel digipack CD, and limited-edition vinyl, including a run of 2,000 double-gatefold 180gr black vinyl with an additional insert. Exclusive limited-edition merch will also be announced soon. Pre-sales for Chasing Ghosts are available now at this location.
