About The Dreaming
The Dreaming formed in late 2002 after the dissolution of Christopher Hall's former band, Stabbing Westward. Chris and Johnny Haro, who had briefly filled in on drums in Stabbing Westward, took to the studio to record demos for his new project. Enlisting the help of Brian Carlstrom, who engineered Darkest Days, the group began recording.
In promotion of the album, the group embarked on a 3-month headlining tour in early 2008 that took them across the United States. They would then follow up with a co-headlining tour with Flaw in late 2008, and a co-headlining tour with Trust Company in early 2009. Jinxx would leave the group in mid-2009 and later join Black Veil Brides. The second album PUPPET was released on 11/1/11 on EAR/EMI records with the first single "Every Trace" scoring early radio adds weeks before the actual radio add date.
