Halestorm: Last News

Halestorm have shared new single ‘The Steeple’ from their upcoming fifth album ‘Back From the Dead’, as well as explaining how a gay fan’s struggle with her family inspired one of their other new songs.During a recent conversation with Loudwire Nights, singer Lzzy Hale explained how a conversation with a young fan ended up being developed into one of the band’s new tracks.“There’s a song on the album that was actually inspired by this conversation I was having with a young girl,” Hale explained, saying she spent most of lockdown checking the band’s socials and fan comments.“She’s a teenager, she’s still living with her parents. She came out as gay, and basically told me and everybody online that the parents’ response was, ‘Well, death would be better.’ We were all so angry about that, because how could you say that to your daughter no matter who she wants to kiss? It doesn’t matter.”Hale called the resulting song “an anthem for her” – without specifying which track on the new album the story referenced – and added: “We all have something. We all have something unique about us, not everybody is going to understand.”In a press release for the new record, Hale described the collection of songs as “a journey of navigating mental health, debauchery, survival, redemption, rediscovery and still maintaining faith in humanity.” Listen to new single ‘The Steeple’ below.‘Back From The Dead’ is due May 6, 2022, and is available to pre-order and pre-save on multiple formats here.‘Back From The Dead’ tracklist:01. ‘Wicked Ways’02. ‘Strange Girl’03. ‘Brightside’04. ‘The Steeple’05. ‘Terrible Things’06. ‘My Redemption’07. ‘Bombshell’08. ‘I Come First’09. ‘Psycho Crazy’10. ‘Raise Your Horns’Halestorm are also set to kick off their UK

Halestorm frontwoman Lzzy Hale has revealed she once broke up with someone after he fell asleep during a Tool gig.The singer and guitarist has given an interview to Guitar Player in which she names the 10 albums that have changed her life. Among her picks was Tool’s 2001 alt-metal classic ‘Lateralus’, which prompted her to recall the incident in question.Remembering that her little brother Arejay, who now plays drums in Halestorm, was eager to see the band around the album’s release, she said: “I had a shitty waitress job, and I got us tickets to see Tool at Hershey Park.

Lzzy Hale recently wrapped up her stint fronting Skid Row with a show in Sacramento, but Jon Bon Jovi thinks she should make her role in the band permanent.Hale fronted the glam metal band for a string of four shows in recent weeks, taking over the role after the band’s previous singer Erik Grönwall announced his departure over health concerns.The last of the four shows took place at Hard Rock Live in Sacramento, California on June 1, and Hale, who also fronts the band Halestorm, has shared her thoughts on the “wonderful” experience of taking on the role.Speaking to SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation, she said: “The response has been amazing. And I’m hearing from people that have been seeing Skid Row since 1987 and are just raving about what I bring to the table.“So, for me, it is friends helping out friends, but it’s also this beautiful milestone in my life where I’m literally being challenged to fill in the shoes that I’ve always wanted to fill from being a kid.
