Lzzy Hale: Dear Daughter is a song of self love and empowerment for women.

It was inspired by my parents encouraging words when I was a child.

I was very lucky to grow up knowing I could be anything I want to be in this life.

I am now living my dream and this song is my way of passing the torch to this next generation of mothers, daughters and sisters who will soon rule this world.

Brave Words ) n nnn n n n This story was written by a UG user.

I had the guitars and melody for the parts forever and we just never knew what to do with them, we always really liked it, but it just needed the right words and we would both write things, but it was never right so wed just throw it away.

With their current lineup, they have been putting out albums of increasing quality and leading tours up and down the country.

They have been steadily amassing a worldwide following and are always looking to up the ante.

With the release of their brand new album Vicious right around the corner, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Guitarist Joe Hottinger in the Gibson Offices on the bands most recent press tour to discuss the writing and recording of the new album including the surprising influence Code Orange had on it, the current feeling within the Halestorm camp as well as working with WWE and HHH, the one riff he wished he had written and lots more.

Ive been listening to it nonstop and I think if it wasnt for The Strange Case Of being so good it would already be top of my list.

Its awesome to hear because you guys are the first people to hear it outside of our circle and we didnt really know, I mean were happy with it and were proud of it, but you never know what people are going to think, but thats good to hear.

I think every album you have put out has a title that is reflective of the album itself.

The self-titled one being your introduction to the audience, The Strange Case Of is about exploring the multiple sides of the band, then Into the Wild Life showcases the more experimental side of the band.

We had the song title Vicious, and we wondered to ourselves what that would be about, so we wrote the line What doesnt kill me, makes me Vicious taking that Nietzsche quote and we fucking with that a little bit, and Lzzy is so amazing lyrically and she liked it, and she started going on it, I had a bunch of riffs, and we wrote the song, but even before we wrote that song we had a different title in mind, there wasnt a reason for the title it was ok, and it was there if we couldnt think of anything else, but then when that song title came about we decided it would be a fucking cool title for the album.

We had already brained about the concept for the album cover, it was like a napkin drawing of a chick with hands all over her, and it was designed to raise more questions, but then with that title, it made so much more sense, it became about the mouth, and what is Lzzys mouth doing in the picture, it makes a lot more sense, because this album is the first time that the four of us have been properly represented on a recording, if that makes sense There have been times over the years where people say to us I keep telling my friends to see you live, because its not the same as the record and we totally agree, we spent the last 3 years trying to figure out to bridge that came, we went so far with Into the Wild Life as to playing it live in the studio, and then overdubbing it to make it a studio recording, but that was us trying to play live and get that energy, it wasnt quite right, but it was getting closer, but weve been thinking that forever and when we met Nick Raskulinecz our producer, and he said he was a big fan and that he had seen us live, but he hadnt heard the record that he wanted to hear from us yet, and he said that was the record he wanted to make with us.

They were good and some of them would have done well for us, but Lzzy was talking about some of the same shit and it seemed like a side step for the band, we just threw them all out, we wanted to push ourselves, and if were lucky then we can push the genre into something interesting, not that there isnt anything interesting going on in the genre but were talking more of that active rock radio out here, sometimes its hard to listen to because you dont know who the band is because they are all faceless and they all sound the sound the same, everything is chasing this radio thing and its been good to us, but we wanted to do something that works there but is also a little challenging as well.

How does something like that affect you as an artist I would imagine there is an attachment there when you write, for it to then just end up on the cutting room floor must suck.

To me it was a relief that we got rid of those and we were all on the same page, because I was horrified that somebody in our team would like them, and I was really impressed with our team, our ar guy and management that they heard those and agreed that it wasnt what they wanted to hear from us, because I dont really know where we were at, and it kind of sounded like we were writing for something that wasnt us, and it sounded forced, but at the same time they were good songs, and they were catchy and Lzzy sounded good on them, but to their credit they didnt want to hear them and it was a relief, and even throughout the process we wrote a ton of songs, and we were like Fuck it, if were not excited by it then our fans wont be and its not worth it when it gets to that.

I havent listened to our old recordings in a while, but we were somewhere recently and one of our songs came on, and the people who had it on were nice and we left it on, and I was sitting there thinking This actually sounds pretty good (Laughs) and then you start thinking about how you dont even play that the same way anymore and how its evolved, but shit still sounds good (laughs).

There are moments on it that are heavy like Black Vultures, the title track and Uncomfortable, but then you have the softer songs like Heart of Novocaine and The Silence.

We really like metal and hard rock, we;re not a metal band by any stretch, but fucking Code Orange man, I fucking love that band, and Gojira, they are making exciting music that is refreshing to me, I love Code Orange, because everything youre not supposed to do they go and do it, and its awesome, and not like we could ever pull off anything like that, but I was listening to that record when we were recording and it just got me into the rudest sounds, its just the most offensive noise that they manage to make musical, and that sort of just seeped its way in and the feeling I get when I hear that it is the feeling I want when were writing, and its a totally different genre, but we get off on heavy music.

When Lzzy writes her lyrics, they are her thoughts and feelings, her emotions she is putting out there.

But Halestorm is a band and it represents all of you, so as members of the band do you guys form any sort of personal attachment to her lyrics, do you have to find something in them to be able to feel the songs when it comes to playing them.

I know some people who hear it all or some that just listen to the words and that is their representation of the song, but ever since I was little it was the groove and the melody, and the instrumentation of it is how I hear a song first.

I remember the first time I got my mind blown with lyrics was My Wave by Soundgarden, Id sing along, but I wasnt focused on any lyrics, but I remember being blown away that the song had a beachy feel to it, and I put it together that he is saying keep it off my wave and then it hit me, and to me that is the icing on the cake when the music and the lyrics form a cohesive thing, to me thats the good shit.

Skulls was the name of the riff I had on there because when I write and record music I write down the first thing I see and name the riff that, for no other reason than to name it something other than riff 2 and she said to me Thats interesting, what if we had a song called Skulls, what would it sound like and then we just go into those conversations and the role of her as a woman and the character of Lzzy Hale in Halestorm what would she be saying, but its more about the music for me.

Thats my favourite thing, then once its done, its hearing back, it;s been really cool doing some of the interviews, talking with you and some of the other people who have been zeroing and really listening, there have been some surprises, over in Sweden, the guy from the biggest magazine over there was like Im going to start at the end, The Silence is the best song Ive ever heard from you guys that song wasnt even going to be on the record, but it really affected him, but as I say that wasnt meant to be on the record, originally it was an 11 track record and it ended with Vicious, but we thought it didnt end right as a collection, we recorded 21 songs and some of the b-sides are really fucking cool, and we could put them all out and it would be the whole collection of where we were over the last year and a half.

The silence happened to be the one that fit the slot, and there were probably better songs in the collection, but that was the one that went in there and some people are really digging it, so its been cool seeing people digging into specific songs, specific lyric and moments and what is really cool is that people are totally getting it, at least on the journalist side, they are really understanding it, they mentioned that theres songs about survival and this and that, its been cool.

You mentioned songs about survival, and its interesting that the album seems to be bookended by songs about Survival in Black Vultures which is more defiant and about surviving in spite of something and then you have The Silence which is more about having survived something and being ok despite it happening.
