After teasing something new earlier this week, Halestorm has officially revealed their first new music of 2025 with “Darkness Always Wins.”

Lzzy Hale says, “‘Darkness Always Wins’ is not a song of hope, nor is it a song of despair. It is reality. History repeating. Evil prevails and the good depart first. But we are not doomed as long as we persist and keep our fires burning. The war may not be won in this lifetime. But our mission is to pass the torch so that those who follow have a light to fight with.”

Check out the new track and accompanying visualizer below.

Halestorm is gearing up for a massive wave of summer dates, including festival stops, headline dates, and support slots for the likes of Volbeat, Iron Maiden, and Black Sabbath. Check out the full list below and grab tickets here.
