Halestorm Return with '80s-Inspired Anthem 'Darkness Always Wins': Stream
The post Halestorm Return with '80s-Inspired Anthem 'Darkness Always Wins': Stream appeared first on Consequence.
Halestorm have unleashed a new song titled 'Darkness Always Wins.' The single offers the first taste of the band's as-yet-untitled new album, set for release later this year.
'Darkness Always Wins' features Lzzy Hale's powerhouse vocals on full display, with the first half of the song reminiscent of an '80s power ballad. In fact, there are lyrical nods to the era (intentional or not), with such lines as 'running with the shadows' (Pat Benatar) and 'fading into black' (Metallica).

Around the 2:30 mark, things get heavier, as Joe Hottinger's guitar kicks in, followed by a primal scream from Lzzy shortly thereafter.
''Darkness Always Wins' is not a song of hope, nor is it a song of despair,' stated Lzzy of the single. 'It is reality. History repeating. Evil prevails and the good depart first. But we are not doomed as long as we persist and keep our fires burning. The war may not be won in this lifetime. But our mission is to pass the torch so that those who follow have a light to fight with.'
The song was produced by Dave Cobb, known for his work with Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell, and others. The upcoming Halestorm album will be the follow-up to 2022's Back From the Dead.
Halestorm will play the Welcome to Rockville and Boardwalk Rock festivals in the US in May, followed by a support stint on Iron Maiden's UK/European tour in the early summer. The band will then support Volbeat on a US tour beginning in mid July (pick up tickets here).

Sydney Sweeney Put On More Than 30 Pounds for Christy Martin Biopic
The post Sydney Sweeney Put On More Than 30 Pounds for Christy Martin Biopic appeared first on Consequence. For her role as pioneering female boxer Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic, Sydney Sweeney went full Christian Bale, quickly and radically transforming her body to best fit the part. 'I came onboard to play Christy, and I had about three and a half months of training,' Sweeney told W Magazine in a new cover story. 'I started eating. I weight-trained in the morning for an hour, kickboxed midday for about two hours, and then weight-trained again at night for an hour.' 'My body was completely different,' she continued. 'I didn't fit in any of my clothes. I'm usually a size 23 in jeans, and I was wearing a size 27. My boobs got bigger. And my butt got huge. It was crazy! I was like, 'Oh my god' … But it was amazing: I was so strong, like crazy strong.' According to W, Sweeney then dropped the weight in just seven weeks to reprise her role as Cassie in the new season of the hit HBO series Euphoria. A proper title and release date for the David Michôd-directed biopic have yet to be announced. Sweeney is also recently made headlines thanks to her unique, we'll call it, collaboration with Dr. Squatch soap.

Judge Throws Out Justin Baldoni's Defamation Lawsuit Against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds
The post Judge Throws Out Justin Baldoni's Defamation Lawsuit Against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds appeared first on Consequence. A vast majority of Justin Baldoni's $400 million civil lawsuit against Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds was thrown out by a judge on Monday. Per People, Judge Lewis J. Liman granted a motion to dismiss the lawsuit filed by Baldoni and his production company, Wayfarer Parties, against Lively and Reynolds, which alleged extortion and defamation related to allegations Lively has made about Baloni occurring on the set of the film It Ends With Us. Baldoni does have the option of amending the lawsuit for breach of implied covenant and tortious interference with contract and re-filing by June 23rd. Additionally, Judge Liman dismissed Baldoni's separate defamation lawsuit against the New York Times over its reporting on Lively's allegations and her subsequent lawsuit against the actor/director 'The Wayfarer Parties have not alleged that Lively is responsible for any statements other than the statements in her [California Civil Rights Department] complaint, which are privileged,' Judge Liman wrote in the opinion and order filing. 'The Wayfarer Parties have alleged that Reynolds and [publicist Leslie] Sloane made additional statements accusing Baldoni of sexual misconduct and that the Times made additional statements accusing the Wayfarer Parties of engaging in a smear campaign. But the Wayfarer Parties have not alleged that Reynolds, Sloane or the Times would have seriously doubted these statements were true based on the information available to them, as is required for them to be liable for defamation under applicable law.' Lively's federal lawsuit against Baldoni remains active and is expected to go to trial in 2026. Among several allegations, Lively has accused Baldoni — who directed and co-starred in It Ends With Us — of sexual harassment, fostering a hostile work environment, and orchestrating a PR campaign to damage her reputation.
