Hale tells Loudwire: "A lot of these songs that came together were bits and pieces of conversations I've actually had on Twitter and Instagram and via Facebook with the few people that follow me.

"That sounds like, 'Oh wow that's so 2014 of you to say,' but it's really true. I definitely don't get out much, we've been doing 14 hour days in the studio. I've been using social media and Twitter to have just some more in depth conversations with our Halestorm fans.
