Halestorm is almost done with their new album.
“We’ve had three separate sessions in the studio with — we’re making a record with [producer] Dave Cobb. And he’s actually a huge closet metal fan, and so he’s really excited,” Lzzy Hale recently told PK of Louisville, Kentucky’s ALT 105.1 radio station.
The singer continued, “And so we’re making this great music, but we’re constantly touring. So we’ve had, like, three different sessions in the studio. We’re probably — what? — 70, 80, maybe, percent there.”
“We have a studio in our house and so I’m doing a lot of the finishing touches on vocals and sewing everything up, doing solos and all that,” she further revealed. “And then we get back in in December to just say, ‘Okay, this is good.’ And then, yeah. And then there we are. So we’re excited about it. We really are.”
Lzzy also talked about working with Cobb in an interview on The Morning After With Nic & Big J on 100.3 The X Rocks radio station. She said, “It’s been a really crazy whirlwind making [the new album]. We ended up going in with Dave Cobb, the producer. And it’s something completely different than what we’ve ever had.”
“We literally rolled in with all of our baggage, all of our songs, our riffs, the whole thing, and he’s, like, ‘No, we’re not gonna do any of that. We’re just gonna start.’ And I’m, like, ‘What? There’s no plan? What’s happening,”‘ Hale recalled.
She then noted, “My brother [Halestorm drummer Arejay Hale] and I have had many moments while making this record where we look at each other and we’re, like, ‘This reminds me of when we were 14.’ It’s just wild. So, I’m very excited for everyone to hear it and I’m excited for it to be done. And so hopefully we wrap it up in December and get it the hell out — out of my house [Laughs].”
In June, Halestorm released a new song with I Prevail called ‘Can U See Me in the Dark?’ before their summer tour. The band will perform at Rock The Locks in Umatilla, Oregon.
