IN THE STUDIO
HALESTORM
Nashville’s finest have emerged from the depths of Covid with their biggest-sounding album yet

Lzzy is “going big”. We thought her voice was pretty bloody massive before, tbh

FOUR ALBUMS AND almost 20 years into their career, Halestorm have amassed an arsenal of gale-force, hard rock anthems that howl and stomp, building hurricane-like around Lzzy Hale’s roaring, high drama vocals. Their last album, 2018’s Vicious, was criticised by some for being too polished and chart friendly, but as Lzzy tells us, for their fifth album, the Nashville-based band went back to basics for their most personal, heaviest album yet.
