Listen to Halestorm’s new single, Darkness Always Wins

Halestorm have just unveiled a brand-new single, Darkness Always Wins.

The track is their first from the band’s next record – the follow-up to 2022’s Back From The Dead, which will apparently be announced “soon” – and was produced by Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell).

Vocalist/guitarist Lzzy Hale calls the single “not a song of hope, nor is it a song of despair. It is reality. History repeating. Evil prevails and the good depart first. But we are not doomed as long as we persist and keep our fires burning.

“The war may not be won in this lifetime. But our mission is to pass the torch so that those who follow have a light to fight with.”
