Halestorm, the GRAMMY Award-winning hard rock band, is making waves in the music scene with the reveal of “Everest,” the title track of their upcoming sixth studio album. Slated for release on August 8, 2025, under Atlantic Records, this album heralds a new chapter for the band, encapsulating their career highs and challenges. Spearheaded by frontwoman Lzzy Hale alongside her brother Arejay Hale on drums, guitarist Joe Hottinger, and bassist Josh Smith, Halestorm continues to deliver high-octane rock anthems characterized by personal and artistic revelations. The title track, “Everest,” symbolizes the culmination of the band's journey, described by Lzzy Hale as a testament to every struggle and triumph, every scream and scar.

The premiere of “Everest” is accompanied by a music video that visually captures the intensity and thematic depths of the song. Presented through a mix of raw performance footage and dramatic narratives, the video portrays the band performing amidst scenes of metaphorical and literal explosions, which mirror the volatile yet liberating essence of rock music. This cinematic portrayal of “Everest” not only highlights the band's musical prowess but also reinforces their dedication to pushing the boundaries of rock.

The announcement comes on the heels of the success of the album's first radio single, “Darkness Always Wins,” which has already climbed the charts, resonating with their global fanbase. Critics have praised the single for its compelling melody and powerful rock arrangements, indicative of the energy and passion embedded within the forthcoming album. The full tracklist promises a dynamic mix of sounds and lyrical themes ranging from the introspective “How Will You Remember Me?” to the evocative “Like A Woman Can.”

“Everest” is produced by Dave Cobb, known for his work with acclaimed artists like Brandi Carlile and Chris Stapleton. His collaboration with Halestorm marks a significant shift, as the band chose a more improvisational recording process. This approach allowed for greater artistic freedom, capturing spontaneous creativity that the band believes brings them closer to their roots while embracing new musical ideas. This freedom is mirrored in both the lyrical and musical landscape of “Everest,” offering listeners a profound insight into the band's evolution.

In support of their new album, Halestorm has embarked on an extensive tour schedule, which includes performances alongside legendary names like Iron Maiden and Volbeat. Their itinerary sees them performing at iconic venues and sharing the stage with other renowned acts, reinforcing their status as a formidable force in the rock music arena. The tour will continue through various international destinations, with particular highlight dates in Europe where Halestorm will headline large arenas.

Fans and followers of Halestorm can anticipate a tour through North America in September, during which they will be joined by Lindsey Stirling and Apocalyptica, adding a unique and diverse edge to the lineup. This array of tour stops is designed to connect with their audience on multiple continents, further cementing their international appeal. Furthermore, the band plans to hit the road later in the year with Bloodywood and Kelsey Karter & The Heroines, showcasing their flexible and inclusive approach to their tours.

Halestorm's “Everest” is not just an album but an expedition to the peaks of rock music, driven by authenticity and untamed energy. With the assured cadence of seasoned musicians and the unrestrained spirit of a band at the height of its powers, Halestorm is ready to deliver what is set to be their most defining work to date. As fans await the August release, the buzz surrounding Halestorm's latest endeavor promises a significant impact on the world of music, demonstrating the band’s unwavering commitment to its art and its fans.
