Grammy-winning hard rock band Halestorm today released Back From The Dead, their fifth studio album and the follow-up to 2018’s Vicious, which earned them their second Grammy nomination.
In an album review released yesterday, Associated Press predicted Back From The Dead “will definitely be in the running for best hard rock/metal album of the year.”
The title track, released last fall and called “a biting, cathartic howler” by Rolling Stone, peaked at #1 on the rock chart, and “The Steeple,” the second single from the album, is currently in the top 10. Guitar World said of the latter track “Lzzy Hale…sings of reclaiming her kingdom, cathedral and castle after going through ‘hell’ against the backdrop of a wall of guitar crunch formidable enough to have an impact in the most distant nosebleed seats.” At midnight last night, the band premiered a lyric video for “Wicked Ways” from the album via their YouTube channel. That video is now available here.
At noon Eastern today, the band will hold a listening party for fans via the StationHead app, where they’ll share stories and commentary in real time as they play the album.
Called “a deeply personal effort depicting the band’s personal struggles through the last few years of uncertainty” by Alternative Press, Back From The Dead, produced by Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Mastodon, Alice in Chains) with co-production by Scott Stevens (Shinedown, Daughtry, New Years Day), “is a journey of navigating mental health, debauchery, survival, redemption, rediscovery, and still maintaining faith in humanity,” according to frontwoman Lzzy Hale, named by Revolver as “one of the most charismatic, powerful, and captivating vocalists of our time.”
Starting Tuesday, Halestorm is back out on the road, first with Stone Temple Pilots, Black Stone Cherry, and Mammoth WVH, then in July with an all-female special guests lineup of The Pretty Reckless, The Warning, and Lilith Czar. A full itinerary is listed below.

Halestorm has grown from a childhood dream of siblings Lzzy and Arejay Hale into one of the most celebrated rock bands of the last two decades. Halestorm’s music has surpassed a billion streams worldwide. Called a “muscular, adventurous, and especially relevant rock record” by Rolling Stone, Vicious earned the band their second Grammy nomination, for Best Hard Rock Performance for the song “Uncomfortable,” the band’s fourth #1 at rock radio, and led Loudwire to name Halestorm “Rock Artist of the Decade” in 2019. Fronted by the incomparable Lzzy Hale with drummer Arejay Hale, guitarist Joe Hottinger, and bass player Josh Smith, Halestorm has earned a reputation as a powerful live music force, headlining sold-out shows and topping festival bills around the world, and sharing the stage with icons including Heaven & Hell, Alice Cooper, and Joan Jett.
