Mark Morton - Without The Pain LP NEW RSD 2025
Snakefarm
RSD 2025
Twenty-five years into a music career that has seen five Grammy nominations, two RIAA certified Gold records and, most recently, the publication of ÔDesolation: A Heavy Metal MemoirÕ, an honest reflection on his life in music and beyond, Mark MortonÕs creative energy is at an all-time high. Over the course of two decades spent building a worldwide audience as guitarist and songwriter for Lamb of God, MortonÕs musical ambitions were steadily evolving. While enjoying Lamb of GodÕs success in the heavy metal world, there were still elements of his songwriting that werenÕt finding their way to the surface Ð the result being, first, 2019Õs ÔAnestheticÕ, an album featuring a host of high-profile artists, including late Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington, and now ÔWithout The PainÕ, his second solo outing and a paean to his longstanding love of southern rockÉOutlaw country star Cody Jinks delivers two powerful songs, including the haunting ÔBrotherÕ; Blackberry Smoke frontman Charlie Starr teams up with Americana superstar Jason Isbell on ÔCome DecemberÕ, while Jaren Johnston (The Cadillac Three) delivers an attitude packed performance on opening track, ÔHell & BackÕ. Meanwhile, country hitmaker Travis Denning Ð a Georgia-born artist with a previous No. 1 on the US country airplay chart Ð collaborates on two moving numbers, both featuring subtle and delicate guitar textures that showcase a different dimension of MortonÕs songwriting. Troy Sanders (Mastodon) steps up to sing ÔNocturnal SunÕ, a thunderous doom dirge and the heaviest track on the album, while blues guitar phenomenon Tyler Bryant teams up with Morton for a fireworks-filled guitar duel on throwback psychedelic blues romp, ÔForever In The LightÕ. The album also features a choice Lynyrd Skynyrd cover, ÔThe Needle And The SpoonÕ, purposefully delivered by Neil Fallon (Clutch) and released first, making it clear just where the heart of the project lies. Finally, rounding things off, thereÕs a storming anthemic rocker fronted by Matt James of Blacktop Mojo, also the albumÕs title track, and James will be fronting the live band when it takes to the road in 2025. Other featured players include guitar greats Grace Bowers and Jared James Nichols, while joining Morton to make up ÔWithout The PainÕs core studio band are bassist Tim Lefebrve (David Bowie, Tedeschi Trucks Band), drummer Gary Novak (Allan Holdsworth, Alanis Morrissette) and keyboardist Adam MacDougall (The Black Crowes, Macy Gray).
