Grammy-winning rock band Halestorm have shared “Back From The Dead (Unplugged),” an acoustic reimagining of their latest single “Back From The Dead.” The band also announced an upcoming December livestream concert.
The track was originally released in August and is currently the No. 1 rock song in the country according to Mediabase. The single also gives fans their first look at the band’s forthcoming album, set for release sometime next year.

“It’s such a relief to actually put something out after so long,” lead singer Lzzy Hale exclusively tells Alternative Press about the song in an interview. “We didn’t realize how far up on the chart that was going to get in such a short time.”
“We’re not in music for the career or fame or whatever you want to call it,” she continues. “We’re in it for the music.”
Alongside the acoustic release, Halestorm announced they will be putting on a one-night-only livestream concert for fans to experience from the comfort of their homes.
The aptly titled “Happy Hale-i-days” livestream will take place Dec. 23 and was recorded in September at the Brown County Music Center in Nashville.
Fan presale begins tomorrow, and all other tickets will be on sale starting Friday.

“Back From The Dead” lyrics:
I’m back from the dead
Out of the black, breaking free of the wasteland
Out of the mud, crawling up through the quicksand
Leaving the dark, coming into the light
Don’t lay me down, save your last rites
‘Cause I’m still standing above ground
Back from the dead alive
Hell couldn’t hold me
Back from the other side
Up from the dirt I rise
Save your prayers, don’t bless my bones
Erase my name from my headstone
Back from the dead alive
Hell couldn’t hold me down
On the edge of the world getting lost in oblivion
To the devils who tried to keep me living like a prisoner
Couldn’t chain me down, couldn’t cage me in
So keep your savior, give me back my sins
‘Cause I’m still standing on the ground

Back from the dead alive
Hell couldn’t hold me
Back from the other side
Up from the dirt I rise
Save your prayers, don’t bless my bones
Erase my name from my headstone
Back from the dead alive
Hell couldn’t hold me down
Down
Back from the dead alive
Back from the other side
I’m back
I’m back from the dead alive
Hell couldn’t hold me
Back from the other side
Up from the dirt I rise
Save your prayers, don’t bless my bones
Erase my name from my headstone
Back from the dead alive
Hell couldn’t hold me down
Hell couldn’t hold me down
Hell couldn’t hold me down
