"It brings to mind the amped-up energy of Motörhead's No Sleep 'til Hammersmith or Thin Lizzy's Live And Dangerous." Halestorm showcase their stadium-sized ambitions at Sonic Temple

Lzzy Hale on stage.

BA-DUN, BA-DUN, BA-DUN! If you weren’t paying attention to the schedule, you’d think Gojira were making a surprise appearance on Sonic Temple’s main stage. Halestorm go hell for leather on Falling Star, a big, thundering number that matches the colossal force of Lzzy Hale’s voice.

It’s almost redundant by this point to highlight the fact that Lzzy is one of rock’s best modern vocalists, but it feels especially true today. She’s putting it on full blast, letting loose an elongated howl that’d shred the larynxes of us lesser mortals. It leads into a hammering I Miss The Misery, and while Halestorm have never been a band for half measures, it feels like they’re going especially hard.
