Hot on the heels of their show-stopping performance of Ozzy Osbourne’s “Perry Mason” at Black Sabbath’s final show over the weekend, Halestorm today dropped new song “Rain Your Blood On Me,” debuted live in that short set.

The track is a heavy siren call starting with a thumping dirge beat and before erupting with Arejay Hale’s explosive drum fills, guitarist Joe Hottinger’s lightning fast guitar riffs, and Lzzy Hale’s astronomical vocal harmonies, all tethered to earth by Josh Smith’s dark bass grooves.

“Rain Your Blood On Me” follows “Darkness Always Wins” and title track “Everest” as the third song revealed from the GRAMMY Award winning band’s album out August 8th via Atlantic Records.  “Darkness Always Wins” is steadily climbing the US radio Active Rock chart, now entering the top 15, and already on the B-list at Planet Rock and Kerrang! Radio.

“‘Rain Your Blood On Me’ is our ode to women,” said Lzzy Hale. “The crawl, the climb, the clenching of fists, the screaming of sirens, the breaking of glass – this is our war cry. As a woman, surrounded by my allies, Arejay, Joe, and Josh, we put everything we’ve fought for up until this moment into this opus. The music started with the stomping of feet at 3 in the morning, with a chant of ‘Rain Your Blood On Me.’ We weren’t even sure what that title meant in the moment as we watched the sky crack through the eerie Spanish moss in Savannah, Georgia. But we knew it was right. By 11:30 AM the poem I had written had seemed to form itself like a story waiting to be told.

We may not win the war in our lifetime, but we can pass the torch to our daughters so that they may light the way.”

Now back Stateside, Halestorm will kick off dates in support of Volbeat on July 17 in Denver running through August, and in September, they’ll begin the “(n)EVEREST” US tour with special guests Lindsey Stirling and Apocalyptica.  They return to the UK for a headline arena tour in November.
