Halestorm has shared the first preview of their upcoming, sixth studio album with the big and bold single, "Darkness Always Wins," and frontwoman Lzzy Hale is here to talk about the making of the band's next chapter, and more.

During an Audacy Check In with Abe Kanan, the "Back From The Dead" singer details the recording process of the new LP, which serves as a return to the roots of the Pennsylvania band. "This whole album, it's kind of like this long road back to the beginning almost," Hale reveals. "When we were recording it with Dave Cobb in Savannah, Georgia, it felt like we were back in my parents basement. We were in this house, unsupervised, just the four of us with all the equipment we could ever want, everything ready to go, no distractions, no girlfriends, no wives, no friends."

"We'd wake up in this house like around 11AM every day, and just start on whatever got us excited, and then Dave Cobb would kind of come in around 1PM and like throw a wrench in the works somewhere. Like, 'oh I love that, let's go there,' you know? His ADHD works very well with our ADHD, so that worked out."

The lead look at the album, "Darkness Always Wins," was the first song the band wrote in Cobb's studio, and kicked off the process of recording from scratch with the producer. "We were setting up the computer so we can show him some songs, and he's like, 'oh no we're not doing any of that.'"

Rather than sifting through previously recorded riffs and stems, Halestorm wrote the song from the ground up. "So we're getting all of these takes of the inception of the song," Lzzy shares. "Usually when we do a Halestorm record, we write the songs and everybody decides on what their favorite songs are, and then we go in the studio for a month and bang it out. This was the complete opposite. We're like, 'we don't have a plan, we don't know what we want to write about,' so we were just kind of letting the music tell us what to do, versus the other way around."
