HALESTORM have released the second single from their upcoming fifth studio album, “Back From The Dead”, called ‘The Steeple’. You can check it out below.
“We started writing this album about three months B.C. (Before COVID),” says band leader Lzzy Hale. “Once we went into lockdown and were unable to perform and tour, I fell into a dark place and something of an identity crisis.
“This album is the story of me carving myself out of that abyss. It is a journey of navigating mental health, debauchery, survival, redemption, rediscovery, and still maintaining faith in humanity.”
‘The Steeple’ finds Lzzy in righteous form, with a chorus custom-build for the kind of all-inclusive crowd singalongs the band specializes in. “This is my kingdom,” she sings, as if it’s the final number of a particularly triumphant show, before continuing, “This is my cathedral/This is my castle/And these are my people.”
“Back From The Dead” was produced by Nick Raskulinecz, who’s previously worked with FOO FIGHTERS, DEFTONES and MASTODON, with added co-production from Scott Steven, best-known for his work with SHINEDOWN. The album arrives on May 6, with pre-orders available at this location.
