"Overflowing energy and emotion, Halestorm's Vicious focuses on bold, vitalizing music and the beautifully frightening, breathtaking vocals of Lzzy Hale. Returning to a harder, more compact sonic environment, on Vicious, Halestorm have taken the roots of past creativity and used them to grow even further into the craft of writing deep, profound, and defiant music to push the boundaries of Rock".
