Halestorm has already recorded two new covers, which will be a part of the band’s upcoming covers EP (“ReAniMate 4.0: The CoVeRs eP”).
Asked about the follow-up to their third covers EP, “ReAniMate 3.0: The CoVeRs eP”, Halestorm drummer Arejay Hale stated: “Actually, we kind of already have started on it. We tracked two songs in Nashville before this tour started. But I don’t think I’m allowed to say what they are. But, yeah, we’ve got some ideas in mind. I always love covering the modern pop songs,” he continued. “Like we did Lady Gaga’s ‘Bad Romance’; we did ‘Get Lucky’ by DAFT PUNK; we did ‘Heathens’ by TWENTY ONE PILOTS. Those, to me, are the most fun. But also I do love the challenge of trying to replicate the brilliance of the classic METALLICA stuff, the SOUNDGARDEN stuff. So that was the most challenging, ’cause you have such a respect for that era that you don’t wanna mess it up. You wanna pay respect to them and you don’t wanna change anything. So, as far as ‘4.0’ goes, I feel like it will probably be a nice balance of those things — paying tribute to the classics, putting our own little twist on it, but also kind of rocking up pop songs”.
Recently, Halestorm shared its covers of Adele’s “Hello” and Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” via social media.
