Halestorm are a family business from Red Lion, Pennsylvania: Lzzy Hale singing, playing guitar and sometimes piano, her brother Arejay pounding the drums, with Joe Hottinger on guitar and Josh Smith on bass completing the lineup. Lzzy's voice is the main event, a full-throated howl that can shred a chorus and then turn around and croon, and the band behind her plays hard rock with alternative metal's heft and none of its sulk.
Atlantic released their self-titled debut in 2009. The Strange Case Of... followed in 2012 with "Freak Like Me" and "Love Bites (So Do I)", which won the Grammy for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance. Into the Wild Life in 2015 reached number five on the Billboard 200 and gave rock radio "I Am the Fire", and Vicious in 2018, with the snarling "Uncomfortable", made it two top 10 albums in a row. Back from the Dead came in 2022, and Everest in August 2025.
They built all of it on the road, playing as many as 250 shows a year and opening for hard rock and heavy metal acts until they could sell out an arena on their own, which they did for the first time in 2016.
