Halestorm

About the artist

After several decades together as a band, Halestorm find themselves still climbing. Their sixth full-length album, Everest, represents both a return to the Nashville-based band’s roots and an evolution into the next chapter of their career. The aptly-titled Everest is a dark, deeply personal effort that pushed each musician to their artistic limits, ultimately resulting in an evocative, genuine collection of rock songs. Halestorm began working on Everest only months after releasing their acclaimed album, Back from the Dead, in the spring 2022. They enlisted GRAMMY-winning producer Dave Cobb who suggested they come into the studio without preparing any ideas or writing any songs. “We've never done a record like this before,” Lzzy says. “It was a very uncomfortable situation, which was good.” Joe adds, “We went in with the shirts on our back and 20 years of being professional musicians and we loved it.” Lzzy’s brutal honesty and thoughtful vulnerability resonates through the songs. By opening herself up and accepting harder truths, she continues to create a space for Halestorm’s fans, who have found relatability in the lyrics and melodies since Lzzy formed Halestorm with Arejay in 1997. Everest represents the next stage of Halestorm’s climb. It underscores the connection they have as musicians and as friends, and adds to the ever-growing list of accolades the band has achieved, including a GRAMMY win, another nomination, and seven #1 songs at rock radio.
