JOE HOTTINGER de la Halestorm a discutat despre sesiunile de compozitie si inregistrari pentru noul album al trupei declarand: 'It's A Blast'.
Intr-un interviu recent cu V13, chitaristul HALESTORM Joe Hottinger a vorbit despre planurile trupei pentru perioada urmatoare. El a spus:"In January, we're writing the whole month, and February we're writing. And we have that Knotfest in Australia in March. And then hopefully finishing up a record after that. We're already, to me, halfway done. We've got a bunch… I don't know, really, That's an arbitrary… We've recorded a bunch, written a bunch, and that doesn't mean it's gonna make it to record, but they sound good to me. We still have work to do on them all, but we got a good start on them. And we're gonna have a whole bunch more songs to do that in the spring, so it's not stopping."
Acesta a continuat: "Touring is easy. You just wake up and get to play a rock show at night, do a few things beforehand. The schedule's all laid out. This is the hustle time where it's, like, 'All right, what are we trying to make?' You've gotta visualize the concept and the idea and the thing. For us, it's never, like, 'I know exactly what we're doing. Let's do it.' It's more like you're fishing. It's like writing songs and writing until you have one, like, 'There it is. That's the feeling. That's what we needed. Now let's focus on building it around that.' And I don't know if we have that yet. Maybe. I don't know. I've gotta listen back. I'm not thinking about that yet till that starts."
Elaborand despre procesul de scriere a cantecelor HALESTORM, inclusiv despre o sesiune recenta de compozitie si inregistrare cu apreciatul producator castigator al Grammy Dave Cobb, cunoscut pentru colaborarile sale anterioare cu Sammy Hagar, Slash, GRETA VAN FLEET si RIVAL SONS, Joe a declarat: "To me, it's, like, may the best song win. I don't care how it… If it's a good song, great. Songs are the ticket. That's the goal."
Artistul a completat: "This new one's been fun. We were working with a new producer and went in there. He's got a house we all moved into for three weeks. And [we] wake up. 'What are we writing today? I don't know. Let's go and just dive in.' And we're not making demos. We're just recording and writing and recording and wake up and write, record it and wake up and write and record. And it's a blast. When your head gets in the thing, you just start going faster and faster, and then you're just in the zone, like, all right, knockin' stuff out. Lzzy [Hale, solista HALESTORM] and I were talking. We kind of went into the thing. We didn't have any… We had maybe a concept or a few titles or a riff here and there, but nothing really. We've just been busting our a*s on this album cycle and didn't put s**t together. And it was great. It was, like, we went in with nothing but the shirt on our back and 20 years of being in a band and doing this s**t. So we can latch right in. Once we grab on to it, we're off. It's fun."
Luna trecuta, Lzzy a discutat cu Jorge Botas de la Metal Global din Portugalia despre faptul ca ea si colegii ei de trupa din HALESTORM au inceput sa lucreze cu Cobb fara a avea material de lucru: "We had no songs, no ideas. We had some riffs and choruses, but it wasn't like we came in with these demos. And, to be honest, Dave Cobb didn't want that at all. We walked in and we were almost apologetic, like, 'I'm sorry, but we've been really busy, and I just have bits and pieces of things I think are special.' He was, like, 'Good. I don't want any demos. No plan, no nothing.' So were, like, 'What do you mean, no plan?' And it was amazing."
Aceasta a continuat: "We woke up every single day, we [worked] from 11 a.m. to 11 p. m. on average, every single day. [We'd] wake up, and I'm, like, at my desk and I'm figuring out lyrics from yesterday's demo, and then, 'Okay, but you know what? Scratch that. We're gonna work on a new song right now, and we'll go back to that.' So we were working on, like, four different things at once. We finished, what, like 12 songs in three weeks. So that's the magic of it all, was that we rediscovered how we as a band individually, uniquely operate and we thrive in that chaos."
Lzzy a adaugat: "As soon as you start thinking, like, 'Okay, this is the concept, these are the songs, this is what we go in, this is what we do,' it just becomes like an office job and there's no room to create, whereas this is totally not like that. You go in and you're, like, 'Wow. Anything is possible and anything could happen.' And then, as you are writing it and finishing it, you are recording it for real."
Joe a completat: "It was cool. We didn't go in with anything but the shirt on our back, except that the shirt is, like, 20 years of being a band."
Lzzy a incheiat spunand: "Obviously, you go in there with experience. We could have never done that 20 years ago."
