Stabbing Westward are marking three decades of a fan favorite. The industrial rockers hit the road this summer to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their 1996 sophomore record ‘Wither Blister Burn & Peel,’ opening the brief U.S. run July 9 in Flint, Michigan at the Machine Shop. From there they roll through Indianapolis, Boston, Philadelphia, Millersville, and Asheville, stopping at venues like New York City’s Gramercy Theater, AMH in Amityville, The King of Clubs in Columbus, and Nashville’s Exit/In before wrapping July 25 at The Loft in Atlanta.
Priest and Acumen Nation provide support throughout the run. Tickets are on sale now via the band’s official website.
The album, which followed the band’s debut ‘Ungod,’ features “Shame,” “What Do I Have to Do?,” and “So Wrong.” To mark the milestone, Stabbing Westward will release a complete re-recording of the record, dubbed ‘Wither ReWired,’ due later this year.
Frontman Christopher Hall went in with mixed nerves. “The idea of reimagining Wither triggered equal amounts of excitement and trepidation for me,” he said, reflecting on how the music we hear young imprints on us forever, tangled up with the memories that came with it. Rather than try to top those memories, the band aimed somewhere else. “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.”
