Halestorm, the GRAMMY-winning band initially formed by siblings Lzzy and Arejay Hale with guitarist Joe Hottinger and bassist Josh Smith, have announced “Everest”, their sixth studio album out ον August 8th, 2025, Atlantic Records.
“Our album ‘Everest’ is a story of our journey as a band, full of beautiful endings and new beginnings”, says Halestorm frontwoman Lzzy Hale. “We weave a tangled web of melancholy, frustration, anger, and the vast purgatory of love and love lost. It is a rollercoaster of epic musical detours, great songwriting and completely unhinged twists and turns. ‘Everest’ is an auditory representation of the 4 pillars of Halestorm. Let us reintroduce ourselves and invite you into our world… if you dare”.
Last week, the band offered a glimpse of “Everest” with “Darkness Always Wins”, the first song to be revealed from the upcoming collection. The song teases an album, produced by GRAMMY winner Dave Cobb (Brandi Carlile, Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell), that dives deeply, both lyrically and sonically, into the band’s mountainous climb over the last couple decades. Hear the song here.
