HALESTORM drummer Arejay Hale spoke to Rock 100.5 The KATT‘s Cameron Buchholtz about what it has been like touring during the coronavirus pandemic. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Touring is different now. We’re all trying to be very, very safe and just make sure that we don’t have to postpone any dates. So we’re still kind of doing a very ‘bubble’-esque type of tour where we’re not hanging out with people after the show. We have to put meet-and-greets on hold for a little bit, just to make sure that we can continue to do shows and we don’t have to stop our tour for any reason. But it’s honestly fine.

“We’re coming back on tour and playing shows with a whole new… We feel rejuvenated almost completely ’cause we’ve had the most time off the road since our first album came out,” he continued. “So coming back into it, we have a much better understanding of how to maintain physically, maintain mentally, not get too crazy, and we just don’t take it for granted.

HALESTORM‘s fifth studio album album, “Back From The Dead”, was released in May via Atlantic. The follow-up to 2018’s “Vicious” was produced by Nick Raskulinecz (FOO FIGHTERS, MASTODON, ALICE IN CHAINS) with co-production by Scott Stevens (SHINEDOWN, DAUGHTRY, NEW YEARS DAY).

Arejay and his sister Lzzy (guitar, vocals) formed the band in 1998 while in middle school. Guitarist Joe Hottinger joined the group in 2003, followed by bassist Josh Smith in 2004.

In a new interview with Pushing The Limits, SKID ROW guitarist Dave "Snake" Sabo was asked if he still has a relationship with the band's former singer, Sebastian Bach. He responded: "Not at all. None. We've all moved on. It was an awful long time ago; we're talking 23 years ago [that SKID ROW reformed without Sebastian], so that's an awful long time ago. [Laughs]" Pressed about whether he ever sees a day down the road when he is […]
