"Halestorm is set to release their 6th full length studio album, 'Everest', on August 8, 2025.
This album is a million tiny pieces that have come together for an incredible body of work. The album is musically complex, lyrically heartbreaking, and vocally challenging. This album walks through a journey of mental anguish, uprising, anger, love, and sexuality.
During the time she wrote this album, her social media presence dwindled. This album was written from her struggles and her passions, it just hits different.
Musically this album showcases each individual member.
Guitarist, Joe Hottinger, shines with his signature riffs and ever evolving tone. Joe doesn't get enough mainstream credit for the incredible musician that he has become.
Bassist, Josh Smith, is one of the best bassists in the Rock scene. His groove is always amazing, and his tone is chunky and overstated, making the bass stand out on each track.
Drummer, and band co-founder, Arejay Hale, is the most underrated drummer in the history of music. Each track is filled with complexity and passion, this man's heartbeat is his metronome.
The album is comprised of 12 tracks. What's been released has been hard hitting, cinematic, or straight gut punch Metal. 'Everest' is an amazing album, a fitting closure to their time on Atlantic Records (? - б.м.)."

Josh, Joe**, Lzzy Hale, Arejay*** Hale
флегматикът, меланхоликът, холеричката, сангвиникът
всеки със своята стилистика и никой - с униформа
че тя е 173, момчетата са по около 185
Джош - елегантен | Джо - небрежен | Лизи - модна | Арджей - екстравагантен
Те открай време държат на ретро-нотката в рока,
както и на един кабаретен екстериор,
пък в съчетане с постмодерното
Та Лизи е като простреляна птица
Джо е съдържателят на замъка
Джош е грингото, идещ отдалеч
И какъв е Арджей? - скучно му е
Но само моята приятелка липсва да седне на стола
