Halestorm have officially released the title track from their upcoming new album Everest online. The album was produced by Grammy winner Dave Cobb (Brandi Carlile, Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell) and is set to drop on August 8th.
Our song ‘Everest’ is the summit of everything we’ve fought for — every scream, every scar, every triumph,” declares HALESTORM frontwoman Lzzy Hale. “This album is us, louder and bolder, and more brutally honest than ever, standing tall in the face of the storm.”
The intense “Everest” visual includes a variety of clips of humans on the brink and imminent explosions, both literal and metaphorical. Interspersed with the vignettes is a rage-fueled, passionate performance by the band. “Everest” dives deeply, both lyrically and sonically, into the band’s mountainous climb over the last couple decades.
“Our album ‘Everest’ is a story of our journey as a band, full of beautiful endings and new beginnings,” commented Lzzy Hale. “We weave a tangled web of melancholy, frustration, anger and the vast purgatory of love and love lost. It is a rollercoaster of epic musical detours, great songwriting and completely unhinged twists and turns. ‘Everest’ is an auditory representation of the four pillars of HALESTORM. Let us reintroduce ourselves and invite you into our world…if you dare.”
Everest marks the sixth studio album of Halestorm’s career. The group initially scored mainstream success with their self-titled debut album, released in 2009.
Halestorm will be touring in Europe throughout June before returning to the U.S.. Their North American leg begins on July 17 in Denver and concludes Oct. 11 in Spokane, WA.
