Earlier this spring, rock music powerhouse Halestorm debuted their first showing of new music on the year. "Darkness Always Wins" arrived as the first preview of the band's forthcoming full length arriving August 8th via Atlantic Records, Everest.
Working with producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell), the track showcases a powerhouse performance from frontwoman Lzzy Hale - showcasing her colossal talent positioning her among the elite. As for the track itself, the slow build and towering crescendo amount to a wall of sound that features Halestorm at full strength.
Enlisting auteur DJay Brawner, the band has now delivered a cinematic visual to pair with their latest rock anthem. Conveying the emotive sentiment of the track, the visual frames the strong conviction that drives such a epic showing.
“‘Darkness Always Wins’ is not a song of hope, nor is it a song of despair,” explained Lzzy Hale. “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.”
"Darkness Always Wins" arrives as Halestorm are currently out supporting Iron Maiden for a series of dates in Europe and the UK. Halestorm will also support Black Sabbath for Ozzy Osbourne's final show in Birmingham this July.
The band will return stateside for a summer run supporting Volbeat, rounding out a lengthy stretch of live shows over the next few months. A current list of dates and cities can be found below. Get tickets - HERE
