Vicious

Vicious is the fourth studio album by American rock band Halestorm. It was released on July 27, 2018, through Atlantic Records. Four singles were released, three of them having a music video. The video for the lead single "Uncomfortable" was directed by Evan Brace. The album peaked at number 8 on the Billboard 200 and topped both the US and UK Rock Albums charts. Background and production The American rock band Halestorm released their third studio album, Into the Wild Life, on April 10, 2015. This was followed up with 2017's Reanimate 3.0: The Covers EP, produced by Nick Raskulinecz. The band ended up discarding 15 songs, as frontwoman Lzzy Hale became displeased with the material out of fear that she was "paying way too much attention to making everybody happy." The band reunited with Raskulinecz in Nashville, Tennessee's Rock Falcon studio for what began as a series of live jam sessions. By February 2018, Hale announced that the new album was "almost done," and that Halestorm had "about two or three weeks left of recording just to put the cherries on top."
