Halestorm vocalist Lzzy Hale discusses the band's new album, The Strange Case Of..., and some of her ties to the metal world. An excerpt is available below:

Fans of Lzzy’s on-stage performances – particularly anyone who grew up in and around the ‘80s cock rock / hair metal scene in North America – may be surprised to learn she credits her vocal personality to a veteran of that era. It turns out that Steve Whiteman of the Maryland-based band KIX, who was and is still known for his over-the-top stage presence and pipes to match, was her vocal coach.

“He was my vocal coach for two years, when I was 17-18 years old,” Lzzy reveals, “and he’s still a great mentor of mine. I owe everything that I’m able to pull off every night to that man. He’s amazing. I recommend him to anyone. He introduced me to what I was born with, and taught me all that I could do with that gift.”

Her ties to the metal world don’t stop with Whiteman and the Halestorm’s cover catalogue. During the recordings for ADRENALINE MOB’s official debut, Omertá, drummer Mike Portnoy (ex-DREAM THEATER) invited Lzzy to trade off lead vocals with singer Russell Allen (SYMPHONY X) for a cover of DURAN DURAN’s ‘Come Undone’. She considers it a privilege to have been asked and doesn’t take the experience for granted.

“Singing with Adrenaline Mob is the ultimate honour,” says Lzzy. “These guys could’ve picked anyone to sing for that song, but they chose me. I’m very humbled by that. I had to put my big girl boots on and go and give ‘em everything I’ve got for that one.”
