Stabbingback is a dual-genre band from Seattle. With each album release being in tandem, one will be an agressive metal, and the other an acoustic rock style. On one hand, Stabbingback blends a classic metal style with melodically driven vocals and a powerful modern edge to form a unique sound. The music is very personal, pained and full of anger. This raw sound aims to start a fire one’s soul and mind. On the other hand, the acoustic music is, by it’s very nature, less abrasive than the metal. Although not as in-your-face, Stabbingback’s acoustic material is every bit as emotional and intense. All the songs are originally written for this style, and are not "unplugged" versions of the metal music.
Founder and songwriter Gage Sifuentes (Vocals/Lead Guitar) formed Stabbingback in 2005. The band got off to a less than auspicious beginning but emerged through difficult times to create a formidable lineup. With the arrival of bassist Jay Barrett in late 2005, a solid foundation was layed down. Drummer, Ben Gregory and Guitarist, Paul Wolfe joined the band soon after to complete the puzzle. Each member is a strong musician in his own right, and with that individual strength they bring a collective confidence to the band and the music they make.

Dark Acoustic Music
author: FNM Fan
Usually when I think "acoustic" music, I think of relaxing with a pint down at the local pub, or maybe the hapless Mr. Van Driessen from Beavis & Butthead, strumming away on his acoustic, preaching Peace, Love and Understanding. Not so with "Absolution", Stabbingback's acoustic answer to their metal release "Redeemer" (also worth checking out). This is one dark album. As with, "Redeemer", the songs are well crafted. The lyrics are also a strong point. There is a lot going on musically which is makes it perfect for mulitple listens. I don't think I've ever heard drums played with such power in an acoustic setting. Personal favorites: "No Way Out" and "Harsh Realities". Maybe Mr. Van Driessen wouldn't have been beaten up so often if he had played acoustic tunes like these. 5 stars - check it out!
