Halestorm has made a powerful return to the rock scene with the release of their new track, “Rain Your Blood On Me,” from their upcoming album “Everest,” set to be launched on August 8 via Atlantic Records. The song was first introduced to the audience during a memorable live performance at Black Sabbath's farewell show, where the band dazzled the crowd not only with their new material but also with a stellar cover of Ozzy Osbourne's “Perry Mason”. This track is the third single from the album, following the success of “Darkness Always Wins” and the title track “Everest,” each contributing to the building anticipation for the full album release.

The new single is described as a “siren call” and features the signature elements that have earned Halestorm multiple Grammy Awards and a dedicated worldwide fan base. The song kicks off with a heavy dirge beat before bursting into high-intensity rhythms, carried by Arejay Hale's explosive drumming, Joe Hottinger's agile guitar work, and Lzzy Hale's commanding vocal presence. The robust sound is grounded by Josh Smith's deep bass lines, weaving together to form a bold musical proclamation. Lzzy Hale has characterized “Rain Your Blood On Me” as an “ode to women,” capturing themes of struggle, empowerment, and legacy through its raw energy and evocative lyrics.

The album “Everest” is produced by Grammy winner Dave Cobb, known for his work with a diverse array of artists. This collaboration marks a new chapter for Halestorm, offering them a fresh approach to their creative process. Unlike the conventional method of pre-arranged demos and rehearsed tracks, the band engaged in a more fluid and spontaneous recording style, often writing and recording simultaneously, which allowed them to harness the spontaneity and raw emotion of their artistic expression. Lzzy Hale credits this novel approach with restoring a sense of freedom and authenticity, likening the recording experience to their early days as a band.

In support of their new album, Halestorm is set to embark on an extensive tour, starting with a U.S. run alongside Volbeat, and moving on to headline shows across North America, supported by Lindsey Stirling and Apocalyptica. The tour includes numerous dates in major cities, offering fans across the continent a chance to hear “Everest” live. As the anticipation builds for the album, past releases like “Darkness Always Wins” have been met with critical acclaim, praised for their brooding sophistication and melodic intricacies, highlighting Halestorm's consistent ability to blend fierce rock with insightful songwriting.

This release from Halestorm is not only a testament to their unwavering dedication but also a bold step in exploring new narratives and soundscapes. “Rain Your Blood On Me,” with its rich layers and intense delivery, exemplifies the band's evolution while holding true to the elements that have defined them. With the guidance of Cobb, the band has crafted an album that captures the essence of their journey, filled with triumphs and challenges, promising to resonate deeply with listeners old and new. As the band prepares to unleash “Everest,” there is palpable excitement to see the next phase of Halestorm's musical odyssey unfold.
