They formed in 1985 in Chicago, Illinois and began recording in the 1990s. Their major label debut was Ungod. Sales were sluggish but Stabbing Westward built a solid fanbase by relentless touring. In 1996, their Wither, Blister, Burn & Peel became a moderate success aided by the singles Shame and What Do I Have To Do.
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.

The Essential Stabbing Westward
Stabbing Westward Lyrics
Control So much of me is you I don't know just…
Crushing Me I'm feeling the weight of the world and it's crushing…
Dawn My angel, my reluctant whore Decided she can take no…
Haunting Me Everywhere I go I see your face. And every sound I…
I Don't Believe I'm such an asshole god I'm such a stain I just…
Lies Your soul a pit of stone, the depths I wish…
Lost Lost is all I will be You are all I will…
Nothing This never ending wait for you is madness I've been staring…
Save Yourself I know your life is empty And you hate to face…
Shame I only see myself Reflected in your eyes So all that I…
Sleep She's been here so many times before she can't remember…
Sometimes It Hurts Six o'clock in the morning My head is ready to explode I…
Torn Apart I know I should have told you I was so…
What Do I Have to Do? You make it hard to breathe It's as if I'm…
