What Stabbing Westward song appeared on the 1992 compilation "Cyberflesh Conspiracy"?

The story behind the answer

The Stabbing Westward song that appeared on the 1992 compilation Cyberflesh Conspiracy was “Violent Mood Swings.”

The track came from the band’s early industrial-rock period, before Stabbing Westward broke through with its Columbia Records debut, Ungod. The Cyberflesh Conspiracy appearance helped expose the Chicago group to listeners in the industrial and alternative underground, alongside other emerging acts from that scene.

There is a small naming wrinkle behind this question. Early versions and some catalog references call the song “Violent Mood Swing,” in the singular, while the better-known title is “Violent Mood Swings.” That difference reflects early demo and compilation-era usage rather than a different song, so the stored answer is the canonical form most listeners and reference sources recognize.

Stabbing Westward later became known for combining programmed electronics, heavy guitars, and Christopher Hall’s intense vocals. The band’s major-label albums helped carry that industrial sound to a wider alternative-rock audience.
