Stabbing Westward and Acumen Nation

The morbidly named band, Stabbing Westward, (poor Westward), is the American industrial rock band who have been doing their thing now for the last 25 years. They are one of the most critically acclaimed bands amongst the industrial crowd of music and in the rock scene. Tonight they are due to perform tracks from a lot of their career, there are rumoured performances of Darkest Days and Self-Titled, which are both albums that solidified their place in the music industry that they have worked ever so hard to achieve. This audience is hungry for their fix of this industrial rock, which in the best way possible of describing it sounds as thought machines made it. It is a very large wall of sound that they create, that chugs along through each song. The hooks are all the same, with a great amount of grit to them. Their biggest song of the set is “Save Yourself”, bringing the house down.
