“Back From the Dead” by Halestorm (Atlantic) Lzzy Hale, the lead singer and guitarist for the heavy metal band Halestorm, is that rare breed of wild child whose path you cross at your own peril, and her aggressiveness soaks through her music. The band's new album, “Back From the Dead,” is not for the faint of heart, or anyone with even a trace of a headache: it's a full-on sonic assault of screams, wailing guitars, pounding drums and booming bass. And yet Hale manages to pull it off with a deft songwriting touch and a surprising sense of melody that belies the bombast.
