Key Insights from Lzzy Hale’s Appearance on Loudwire Nights

• Hale elaborated on why Halestorm collaborated with producer Dave Cobb for Everest: “We wanted to challenge ourselves by stepping out of our comfort zone. It was important to us to work with someone who views us not just as fans, but as an independent entity. We frequently inquired about his experiences collaborating with artists like Chris Stapleton and Brandi Carlile, asking insightful questions to gain a broader perspective.”
• She reminisced about her favorite Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath tracks: “Ozzmosis had a significant impact on me years ago … Prior to that, No More Tears. Black Sabbath has a unique heaviness in songs like ‘Electric Funeral,’ and I became completely enthralled with the Dio era for many years. Their enduring legacy is something we all aspire to, as they have paved the way for future generations. The beauty of Black Sabbath lies in their timeless appeal; it transcends age and era, offering something meaningful to everyone across generations.”
• Hale expressed her excitement for Back to the Beginning: “I’m eager to create unforgettable moments alongside my friends. It’s not just about celebrating Ozzy and Black Sabbath; it’s about standing shoulder to shoulder with other talented musicians. Together, we’ll witness incredible performances and share the stage with Black Sabbath … I’m anticipating unexpected magic that we can’t even foresee right now.”
