Halestorm frontwoman Lzzy Hale has written a letter to her younger self, posted via Rocksound.tv. Check it out in its entirety below:

"Dear Little Lzzy, 

I know it sounds crazy, but this little hair-brained plan to start a rock band is actually gonna work. It's going to be your greatest risk and greatest adventure.  You will wonder at times if you're crazy for always moving forward, don't. It's that forward movement that will save you. You also will question whether or not you are 'cool' enough to be a rock star...you're not...but neither were any of your idols so it'll be okay.

You are tough, remember that no matter what this life throws at you... you can pull through. Your fervor and drive for the band are what keeps you sane, so use that, but don't forget that you are human too, and to give that 'smushy center Lzzy' some love once in a while. If you are worried about finding love, don't. It will happen when you aren't looking, you will even deny it for a while... but this love will end up being the most amazing love you've ever known. It will make you feel sorry for everyone who doesn't have a love like yours. Ha!

You will be astonished at all you will accomplish, and humbled by the pure chaos of it. You will make history, and reserve a seat at this generation's round table of woman rockers. You will even win a Grammy! I know right? Who knew? People will pay attention to what you say and do. But take pride in being honest and being yourself. Embrace the freedom of it. Not everyone is going to agree with your words or actions, or the music you create. But remember that your life is yours alone. So do whatever the fuck you want.

Amidst all the chaos, pressure, and amazing moments this rock and roll life throws at you, don't forget... your success is not measured by the way you carry yourself down a red carpet laid in front of you. Your success is measured by how you carry yourself knowingly through a path of land mines. See you on the other side my little self... I'll be the one holding a big glass of wine, cheering you on!

Love, 

Big Lzzy"

Halestorm recently released a music video for the new song, “Amen”, featured on their new album Into The Wild Life, due for release in North America on April 7th (out now in Europe and the UK). It can be viewed at the bottom of the page.The album is currently available for pre-order via iTunes here.

Into The Wild Life marks the band’s third studio album and follow-up to 2012’s The Strange Case Of... Recorded last year in Nashville with Grammy-nominated producer Jay Joyce (Cage The Elephant, Eric Church) at the helm, the album is heralded by new single, "Apocalyptic".

“Into The Wild Life is not a departure,” says Halestorm frontwoman Lzzy Hale. “It’s an invitation to all things Halestorm.  Lyrically and musically, we explored everything that makes us tick. We set a new standard for this record and gave ourselves no choice other than to be unapologetically ourselves in every way. Peel away at the onion that is our third record if you dare and let us drag you deeper into our world.”
