Mark Morton - Anesthetic out now - markmorton.lnk.to/Anesthetic

Spend time talking to Mark Morton about his creative process and two themes emerge. One, he loves to write. The Lamb of God guitarist says, “I’m a musician, I'm a songwriter, I'm a guitar player, and I'm a lyricist.” Two, Morton is inspired by a wide swath of musical genres.

For his new project Anesthetic, Morton didn’t sit down this year and say I want to write a solo album. Instead, he’s actually been writing some of this debut for years. He cast a wide net for collaborators. And almost everyone said yes: Mark Lanegan (QOTSA, Screaming Trees), Steve Gorman and Marc Ford (The Black Crowes), Chester Bennington (Linkin Park) Mike Inez (Alice In Chains), Ray Luzier (Korn), David Ellefson (Megadeth), Chuck Billy (Testament), Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge/Slash), Jacoby Shaddix (Papa Roach), Jake Oni (ONI) and more.
