HalestormEverest (Opaque Hot Pink Vinyl)

This one reaches for the rafters, Lzzy Hale's gale-force voice tearing across wide-screen hard rock built for the cheap seats. "Darkness Always Wins" swells from a hushed verse into a chorus engineered for a whole arena to scream back, crunching guitars piling up behind her. Big, brash, and gloriously unsubtle. Few singers in rock today can command a room the way Hale does here. Turn it up and let it knock you back.
