Stabbing Westward relocated to Los Angeles, where they began work on the 1998 album, titled Darkest Days . Darkest Days was envisioned as a four-act story by the band (but never marketed as such). This is the only release featuring studio work by Mark Eliopulos. The first single “Save Yourself” had success yet the album failed to sell as well as its predecessor. Stabbing Westward continued to tour with bands like Placebo , The Cult , Monster Magnet , and Depeche Mode , while playing numerous summer festivals. Due to a broken collarbone, Kubiszewski was forced to sit out the remainder of the touring cycle. He was replaced for a handful of dates by former drummer Chris Vrenna, followed by Geoff Dugmore, and then Johnny Haro for the remaining dates. Haro joined Econoline Crush after Kubiszewski’s return in late 1998.
