Willie and I get together and start fleshing out outlines of song musically and instrumentally. The starting point for most Lamb of God songs, including the ones on this formidable 10-track album, is Morton and co-guitarist Willie Adler’s riffs and ideas. And I just don’t stop working lately,” he says over the phone from Virginia. “When I think about it, when you lay it all out like that, I work a lot. With Lamb of God’s self-titled album out last month, it’s been a whirlwind and Morton’s just realized it.
Counting just those two records, the guitarist had worked with some of the best voices in heavy music – the late Chester Bennington from Linkin Park, Alter Bridge frontman Myles Kennedy, Alissa White-Gluz from Arch Enemy, Howard Jones (previously of Killswitch Engage) and Lzzy Hale, amongst others. It was in March 2019 that his debut solo album Anesthetic released and then in January, he released a follow-up EP Ether. Lamb of God riffsmith Mark Morton has had a busy 12 months by any ordinary stretch.
