Video footage of the Atlantic recording group HALESTORM performing an acoustic version of their new single, “Love Bites (So Do I)”, at the studios of Kerrang! Radio can be seen below. The song comes off the band’s new album. “The Strange Case Of…”, which arrives in stores and at all DSPs on April 10.
“Love Bites (So Do I)” — as well as three other highlights from “The Strange Case Of…” — is featured on HALESTORM’s new EP, “Hello, It’s Mz. Hyde”, which is available at all leading digital retailers.
Produced by Howard Benson (who previously collaborated with the Pennsylvania-based hard rock band on their self-titled 2009 debut), “The Strange Case Of…” was recently named among Revolver’s “Most Anticipated Albums of the Year.” “Led by one of our favorite rocker babes, singer-guitarist Lzzy Hale, (HALESTORM) promise a more personal album for their follow-up,” the magazine noted. “But don’t expect them to get all sappy on us. There should still be more than enough of the band’s now signature raucous attitude and righteous riffs for any headbanger to get off.”
HALESTORM will hit the road hard to support “The Strange Case Of…”, beginning with a major U.S. trek alongside GODSMACK and fellow Atlantic recording group STAIND. The dates get underway April 13 at Augusta, Georgia’s John Paul Jones Arena and then continue through mid-May.
Formed by frontwoman Lzzy Hale and her brother, drummer Arejay Hale, HALESTORM has been hailed far and wide as an incendiary new force in modern hard rock. “Halestorm” made a top 5 debut on SoundScan’s “Hard Music” chart upon its 2009 release, simultaneously bursting into the top 40 on the comprehensive The Billboard 200. The album subsequently sold more than 300,000 copies, and half a million cumulative tracks. Produced by Howard Benson (DAUGHTRY, MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, FLYLEAF), the album earned extensive acclaim for its infectious hard rock anthems, sexy hooks, and rough-and-tumble grooves.
“The Strange Case Of…” marks HALESTORM’s first release since last year’s “ReAniMate: The CoVeRs eP”, which saw the band putting their unique stamp on a diverse collection of classic songs, including tracks by GUNS N’ ROSES, THE BEATLES, HEART, TEMPLE OF THE DOG, SKID ROW, and LADY GAGA. HALESTORM also unleashed their first-ever live CD/DVD, “Live In Philly 2010”, featuring such favorites from the band’s self-titled debut as “It’s Not You”, “Familiar Taste of Poison” and the rock radio smash “I Get Off”.
True road warriors, HALESTORM made its bones as a major league hard rock outfit via countless North American gigs alongside such artists as SHINEDOWN, AVENGED SEVENFOLD and DISTURBED. Last year saw the band traveling the country on the blockbuster “Avalanche Tour 2011”, joining such hard rock luminaries as STONE SOUR, THEORY OF A DEADMAN, ART OF DYING, and fellow Atlantic recording group SKILLET.
