Celebrating it's 20th anniversary, Darkest Days is now being released on vinyl for the first time. Despite never reaching the commercial success of it's predecessor 'Wither Blister Burn + Peel', Darkest Days has grown into the definitive Stabbing Westward album - an often-overlooked masterpiece from the 90s, that still holds up beautifully two decades later. Remastered for vinyl at Sony's Battery Studios. First press is limited to 1,000 copies worldwide, available on 180gram 2xLP with an elaborate trifold jacket sourced from Dave McKean's original art files. Vinyl variants include black with gray splatter (limited to 300) and "green smoke" (limited to 700).
