Not at all!
Iwo Jesus EP is now available digitally for sale through their website. $5 for lossless download, not bad!
Did anyone here pick up the digital? What did you think? Did Chris and Walter do a good job recreating these tracks? I have Plastic Jesus from the Cold Waves comp and thought it sounded great.
They have teasers on the website. They sound pretty good to me. For a lossless digital copy at $5, I'm in.
Edit: Someone uploaded the originals on YouTube, but they call the EP Iwo Jimma [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...S6T3DK3zWDqWhB]. Definitely some noticeable differences between the originals and re-recorded versions, but they mostly maintain the spirit.
Edit 2: It sounds to me like Chris' vocals are pitch corrected with a fairly high retuning speed. Anyone else hearing that? I find that to be an odd choice as he could have easily corrected his vocals without making it sound obvious. I'm making this claim as an engineer/producer that uses AutoTune on occasion as subtly as possible, but I could certainly be wrong.

It is definitely Iwo Jesus as listed on Discogs...

I saw a crap 128kbps rip of the original tape on Soulseek with the incorrect title Iwo Jimma. The uploader probably got it from there without realizing who uploaded put the wrong title.

So Stabbing Westward is releasing a trilogy of EPs in 2020, with the first titled Dead And Gone and out on January 3rd. It will feature 3x brand new tracks plus 2x remixes (one being a remix by Walter Flakus himself). At the end of the year, the EP tracks will be compiled into an album with 2x additional tracks.

Was excited until no Andy.
No Andy shouldn't be a surprise considering.
This is great news! Can't wait for the new material.
I guess I don't see how this is any different from the Dreaming's last album, since 3 of the 4 people involved with this were also on that album. Also, where did Mark Eliopulos go?
Don't get me wrong, I'm excited as hell for this. Chris and Walter create magic together.

As some of you may or may not already know, I've decided to leave the band. I no longer have the time necessary to do it the way it should be done, so it's time for me to move on. It's been so great playing for everyone again after such a long time, meeting some amazing people, and seeing old friends. I'll be lurking about here with updates on future endeavors and political rants and guitar nerdery and general tomfoolery for those of you who might be interested in that sort of thing. Thanks to everyone for all the love and support; I hope to see you all again soon.

The title track straight up sounds like The Dreaming. Cold was way more interesting and outside the box. That's all that I listened to on the drive into work this morning haha.
Cold is the standout track for me, but I’m enjoying it all. Good to hear these guys back. Remix tracks are tight!

Nothing revolutionary with the new EP but the songs sound pretty good. Standard Stabbing Westward fare.
Just stumbled upon this EP and I am enjoying it, playing over and over.
Chris Hall has a killer voice and has a talent for holding his tone, but what impresses me is how he can put some serious power behind his voice, for example at the 1:17 mark for the new song 'CRAWL', when he screams CRAWLLLL wow, good stuff man.
And the sound they produce and arrange is fantastic.
Fingers crossed that they stay together.
Also, CRAWL is a bit like a goth/industrial version of a 'The Weeknd' song.
Hall revealed that a series of EPs are in the works for the remainder of 2020. “The idea is to do three EPs, three songs each, do some remixes and have some cool cuts or bonus material on each and then at the end of the year we’re gonna release all three EPs and a fourth EP worth of material and make a finished album and do like a cool colored vinyl release of some sort,” explains Hall.

Between this and the new Deadsy album coming, 2020 is looking to be a good year.
Yup, they've been working on it for a couple of years now. I remember clips showing up back in 2017.
Elijah Blue was posting clips on his Instagram...

And also on the Deadsy Instagram.
Alec Puro recording drums the other day...

Originally they were gonna do an EP, but it has now become an album. There were a few new demo clips, but they removed them. They sounded pure Deadsy!
The Mansion World YouTube fan page has collected some of them...

Holy shit those clips sound awesome. I had no idea Deadsy was even back together. That's fucking exciting!
If you're in the know, i guess i'll wait until i hear it... from your mouth.
Looks like they will be the headliners for day one of Cold Waves, September 18th. Haven't seen them since 2001, a festival set and they played during the middle of the day. I think The Metro is a much more fitting environment lol
