Halestorm guitarist Joe Hottinger spoke about the writing sessions for the band's fifth LP on the latest episode of the “In The Trenches With Ryan Roxie” podcast.
Hottinger said, “Lzzy (Hale) and I have — I think we've got four or five new songs that we really like. We've written 20 or 30 . . . but there's four or five that we're, like, 'All right. We're on to something here.' And they're exciting, 'cause they are different.”
The guitarist continued, “We didn't exactly know where we were gonna go on this next record that we're writing — we still don't totally know, but the haze is clearing, the fog is clearing, and it's starting to reveal itself. And it's rock and roll music, and it's exciting. And it's very us and Halestorm, but it's a different flavor of us.”
The next Halestorm album will follow up 2018's Vicious. The group has been using the downtime during the COVID-19 lockdown to keep working on material. Although the band has hinted at recording one or two EPs in the interim, that plan seems to be hold for the moment.
