Darkest Days

Darkest Days is the third album released by industrial rock band Stabbing Westward on Columbia Records. The album was recorded in L.A. in 1997 and released on April 7, 1998. Although the album didn't achieve the same level of success as Wither Blister Burn & Peel, it received positive reviews and is often considered the band's best album. The band was dropped from Columbia Records in 2000 following this release. The track "Save Yourself" reached number 4 on the U.S. Mainstream Rock chart and number 20 on the U.S. Modern Rock chart and remains a staple of alternative music. Darkest Days was certified gold on March 1, 2000. Darkest Days is a concept album consisting of four acts, with each portraying a different emotional phase gone through after a break-up. The first act is about sabotaging the relationship. The second act is about lust, hope, and longing. The third act is about hitting rock bottom after it is all over. The fourth act is about recovery and self-respect. From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darkest...) under Creative Commons Attribution CC-BY-SA 3.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...)
