ReflectionsofDarkness.com reviewed the Shinedown concert with supporting act Halestorm and Liberty Lies at Paradiso, Amsterdam in the Netherlands on February 6, 2012.

"Overall sound was great, although the balance of the backing vocals were at times a bit off. About halfway their set, the band members leave the stage and Lzzy shows her incredible voice in a solo flowing into the song ‘Familiar Taste of Poison’. This is one of the only slow songs in their repertoire and it has a great dark atmosphere to it. Up next, her brother Arejay takes the stage with an entertaining drum solo, ending in half-smashing up his drum kit.

HALESTORM hardly gives the audience any time to recover as they continue with more guitars, mad drums and Lzzy’s hard-to-miss stage performance. Lzzy is a very charismatic front woman, she doesn’t give a damn when she’s rocking the stage playing her guitar but can be very sensual and feminine at the same time during other songs. HALESTORM plays a selection of songs from their self-titled album, but also treats the audience to the Skid Row cover ‘Slave to the Grind’. Love that one! Furthermore HALESTORM plays a brand new song from their upcoming album ‘The Strange Case Of …’ called ‘Freak Like Me’. I’m definitely looking forward to their album release and I think it’s about time this band starts headlining shows."
