'''''Ungod''''' is the debut album by American industrial rock band Stabbing Westward. The album was recorded in six weeks in Chiswick, UK, in 1993, and released by Columbia Records on February 15, 1994. With adequate album sales and touring with the likes of Depeche Mode, a second album, ''Wither Blister Burn & Peel'', was released in 1996. The guitar line in the chorus of the song "Ungod" was later used in Filter's song "Hey Man Nice Shot" in 1995. Stuart Zechman, who was also playing guitar for Filter at the time, took the riff and showed it to Stabbing Westward who ended up using it as well.<ref>{{Cite web |title=SW Faq |url=http://www.musicfanclubs.org/stabbingwestward/faq.html |access-date=2026-01-15 |website=www.musicfanclubs.org}}</ref>
