The follow-up was Darkest Days. Despite several strong singles including Save Yourself, It failed to sell as well as its predecessor, although it attracted attention in Canada and Australia, and the band was dropped from Columbia Records. They signed to Koch Records, issuing Stabbing Westward, which was a considerably more commercial effort than previous albums, but failed to make any impact on the mainstream charts. Before a fifth LP could be recorded, Stabbing Westward broke up in late 2002.
Since then, lead singer Hall has formed The Dreaming.
In 2019, the band reformed and began to release new (and archival) materials on COP International Productions intending to release a full-length album in 2022.

Stabbing Westward Lyrics
There are times
When I'm just a shell
When I do not feel anything for anyone
All I feel is hollow & bruised
Used up & mis-used
Forced to be soneone I don't
Want to be
Have I failed somehow or some way
Will the weight of today
Finally pull me down to drown
In the depths of despair
Where I am alone
Except for my rage?
My rage...My pain...
I hate... My darkest days
