Rolling Stone said of "Darkness Always Wins", "What the song has going for is its catchy, brooding, and dramatic in all the ways we love HALESTORM songs to be," and Revolver noted "The arrangement remains lean even as the amps begin to crank into the red, though 'Darkness Always Wins' still sports some exquisite minor-key melodicism, a metal-chunked bridge, loud-as-hell requiem bells and a classically rippin' rock guitar solo." Fronted by Lzzy with drummer Arejay Hale, guitarist Joe Hottinger and bassist Josh Smith, HALESTORM's music has earned multiple platinum and gold certifications from the RIAA, and the band has earned a reputation as a powerful live music force, headlining sold-out shows and topping festival bills around the world, and sharing the stage with icons including HEAVEN & HELL, Alice Cooper, Joan Jett and JUDAS PRIEST.In a new interview with Chaoszine, HALESTORM frontwoman Lzzy Hale, who is widely considered to be one of the best female rock singers in the world, was asked how she has felt her "voice evolution of over the years". She responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "Quite a bit, actually.And this started probably about two years ago where I'm proud to say that I hardly warm up anymore. It was a very important part of my training when I was a kid. I mean, I started singing very early on — probably when I was about nine or 10 was when I first discovered my voice.But when I was 16, I started vocal lessons with a man named Steve Whiteman, who was in a band called KIX back in the '80s. He taught me how to warm up and where all of my resonance areas are, a lot of the technical things, all the tools that I use today. Then in my teens and twenties, I was warming up for probably about 30 minutes to an hour every single time I would perform.
