Halestorm plan to begin writing their third studio album in the new year.
Halestorm are readying themselves for some time in the studio according to drummer, Arejay Hale.
In a new interview with Billboard, Hale revealed that the band intend to head back to their Nashville studio as soon as their touring commitments are over, “lock ourselves in there for the entire month of January and just write our asses off”.
Speak of the difficulties of writing new material whilst touring so heavily he stated,
“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.”
He continued, adding that the band have snatched a few opportunities to get some ideas while on the road.
“Every once in awhile we’ll write something and crudely record it on our phones real quick or something.”
Elaborating, Hale revealed that Halestorm were more productive in their writing when they could focus, work together and get into the correct mindset.
“It’s more about writing and ideas rather than producing a song; 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.’ The best thing we can do is what gets us excited at the time. We did that with (‘The Strange Case of..’). We weren’t trying to top the (first) album or mimic it. We were trying to create something we were excited about. This album is going to be the same thing; we’ll all sit down and if we get excited about something we’re gonna chase it.”
The new record will be Halestorm’s third studio full-length, following on from 2012’s ‘The Strange Case of..’ and more recently, a covers collection titled ‘Reanimate 2.0: The Covers EP’ released in October 2013.
Halestorm will be touring the UK in April 2014 dates and ticket info are as follows.
