In a recent chat with TotalRock’s ‘Hobo On The Radio’ show, Lzzy Hale gave information about the creation and release of Halestorm’s next album. She commented on the band’s ongoing work for the follow-up to 2022’s ‘Back From The Dead’ by saying:
“We’re always working on new music, but we’ve actually kind of started to buckle down and really kind of write with a purpose as to whatever we wanna kind of put out in the world next. It’s kind of an exciting time because I feel like even since the last record, even beyond ‘Back From The Dead,’ I feel like we’re kind of shedding our skin in a way that’s kind of beautiful where we all kind of feel like different people than who we were when we were writing the last record. So it’s time for whatever that next chapter is. So it’s very exciting.”
Sharing a rough release date, the singer added:
“I’ve been writing in a lot of subjects that I haven’t necessarily touched on before and been kind of exploring those things. And I’ve become even more of a serial eavesdropper. I will be sitting at a pub or something, and I will kind of zone out, and it’s amazing the conversations you hear other people talking about. And so sometimes those leech their way into the songs. But, yeah, we’ll probably have something by next year.”
Shortly after completing the US leg of the supporting tour for the last record in Royal Oak, Michigan, this past September, Halestorm frontwoman talked again about the upcoming album during her appearance at Detroit’s WRIF radio station.
Despite describing the song-making as ‘chaos,’ she expressed her excitement for the follow-up and mentioned the tour’s effect on this process as follows:
“Especially considering we’ve been touring on this album cycle, we’ve been touring on ‘Back From The Dead,’ and our live show has grown a lot during this album cycle, whereas we’re making these kind of physical moments. And we’ve been writing parts for in-between songs and all of that. So I feel like I kind of wanna incorporate some of those things that we’ve already kind of tested live, that are original parts but don’t actually have a song to go to yet. So I don’t know, we’ll see what happens. So we’re doing that.”
With the US leg of its tour concluded, Halestorm is getting ready for its upcoming shows in late 2023. The band’s next performance will take place in Frankfurt, Germany, on November 2.
