Halestorm to begin writing new album in January

Halestorm plans to spend the month of January writing material for their third studio album.

Halestorm plans to spend the month of January writing material for their third studio album.


During an interview with Billboard, drummer Arejay Hale said the band will be heading to their study in Nashville and they plan to "lock ourselves in there for the entire month of January and just write our asses off". 


Hale explained that the band has had some time to prepare, writing material while on the road. “With all the touring we’ve been doing we really haven’t had a chance to all sit down and write together as a band. We’ve been writing constantly, kind of here and there on the road. It’s kind of tough on the road because our days are pretty swamped and it’s hard to get into that creative mentality. We’re focused on performing and the shows and not quite as consumed with the writing process.”


“I think we get a lot more done when we’re all together. So we’re gonna go in and have the mentality of ‘It’s crunch time. We’ve got to write an album,’” Hale said.


Looks like we can expect a follow-up to 'The Strange Case of...' some time in 2014.
