What Mark Morton makes

Topics heavy metal, rock music, music production, songwriting, solo artist

Twenty-five years into a music career that has seen five Grammy nominations, two RIAA certified Gold records and, most recently, the publication of ‘Desolation: A Heavy Metal Memoir’, an honest reflection on his life in music and beyond, Mark Morton’s creative energy is at an all-time high. Over the course of two decades with Lamb of God, there were still elements of his songwriting that weren’t finding their way to the surface – a result being, ‘Without The Pain’, his second solo outing and a paean to his longstanding love of southern rock… ‘Without The Pain’ wasn’t a project Morton took on alone. The album features a world class list of contributors, including some of Americana, rock and country’s biggest names… Cody Jinks, Charlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke) & Jason Isbell, Jaren Johnston (The Cadillac Three), Travis Denning, Troy Sanders (Mastodon), Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown, Neil Fallon (Clutch), Matt James (Blacktop Mojo), plus Grace Bowers & Jared James Nichols.
