Halestorm - Everest (2025)
Everest, Halestorm’s sixth studio album, charts new territory in both ambition and emotional depth. Produced by Dave Cobb, the band reared itself into fresh soundscapes—moving beyond their typical hard-rock template into something cinematic and soul-stirring. Tracks like “Fallen Star” and “Watch Out!” crackle with live-band ferocity, bringing arena-sized riffs that feel unfiltered and electrifying. Lzzy Hale shines with fearless vocal versatility—from raw snarls to soaring, intimate power.
Songs like “Darkness Always Wins” offer haunting introspection, while “Like a Woman Can” channels a soulful energy reminiscent of Nina Simone. The album’s title track, “Everest,” serves as a personal anthem of perseverance, embodying the band’s journey to this creative pinnacle.
Critics have hailed Everest as Halestorm’s boldest and most mature statement yet—packed with resilience, genre twists, and unflinching honesty. It’s a high-stakes climb, and they’ve emerged triumphant.
