Halestorm will celebrate the 10th anniversary of their debut album with a special vinyl reissue

Halestorm’s 2009 debut self-titled album hit the decade mark this year, and in honor of that milestone, the band will reissue the album on vinyl on Dec. 20. The special, two-LP edition will pack a bonus CD of demo recordings, plus new artwork a letter written by frontwoman Lzzy Hale.

“Something special we are releasing this year, since it’s our 10-year anniversary of our debut album, is a special package for everybody,” Hale said in a video announcing the vinyl release. “There are going to be so many little surprises.”

She added that all of the demo recordings, “are not redone, not remixed– they’re literally exactly how we did them, and it shows our journey.”

“That whole time that we were in the process of making that first record, it shaped us, in the best ways and the worst ways. and we just wanted to share that with you,” Hale said. “It’s been fun going through all the old stuff, and I think we learned by going through this package that 10 year later on (their new album) ‘Vicious,’ we got very close to the beginning again, so it feel like we’re starting all over again. It’s a good feeling.”

Halestorm released “Vicious” last year.
