Halestorm have announced their upcoming 'Halestorm: Reimagined' EP, a six-track collection of fan favourites taken from their multi-platinum catalogue, but with a new twist.

Set to be released on 14th August, the Grammy-Award winning rock band have introduced this latest project by releasing a new take of their 2012 track 'Break In'. The track features a stunning duet between Halestorm’s front woman Lzzy Hale and Evanescence’s front woman, Amy Lee.

This isn't the first time fans will have heard Hale and Lee singing together. During the Carnival of Madness Tour back in 2012, Lee would join the band onstage for a live rendition of 'Break In' most nights.

The EP also includes a cover of the Dolly Parton/Whitney Houston iconic tear jerker, 'I Will Always Love You', which again, the band has played live numerous times over the years.

When talking about the EP and their collaboration with Amy Lee, Halestorm's Lzzy Hale said, "Over the last decade, we’ve been putting out cover EPs in between every original album cycle just for fun... But this time around we decided to shake it up!

"For our Reimagined EP, we committed to only one cover but filled the rest with reimagined versions of Halestorm songs. It was such a blast to remake some of our favourite originals.

"One of the stand out moments on this EP is a duet of our song 'Break In' featuring the amazingly incomparable Amy Lee. Produced by Nick Rasculinecz, we recorded this duet pre-COVID-19, together in the same room, live, as a full performance from beginning to end.

"Amy brought new meaning to this song, turning what was once just a love song into a statement of unity and support for each other. I hope you find something in 'Reimagined' that brings you joy and hope in these crazy times we live in!"

As well as 'Break In' and 'I Will Always Love You', 'Halestorm: Reimagined' also features 'I Miss The Misery', 'I Get Off', 'I Am The Fire' and 'Mz Hyde'.
