Since their self-titled debut album, released in 2009, Halestorm haven't left the rock sphere and have become a fixture on the playlist of rock devotees. Lzzy Hale is both a captivating front woman and extremely talented multi-instrumentalist.

Halestorms' new album feels like it's been a long time coming, since Lzzy revealed that the band had "60 ideas demoed" back in November 2020. After getting back to recording the band's fifth album via social distancing, in January 2021, Lzzy commented:

"It’s exciting, we’re working on a new record and I love this new material and I’m super excited. To get to the other side, whenever that may be, until that happens we’re just going to keep trying to do what we got and yeah, come out swingin’."

Last August, the band gave fans a glimpse into their new material with the release of Back From The Dead, which sees the band hit it hard and announce their return via the lyrical depiction of being raised from hell. It feels like a return to form and an anthem for the downbeat.
