Mark Morton Talks Chester Bennington, Solo Album Without The Pain & Lamb Of God's Future On The Loaded Radio Podcast TL;DR: Lamb Of God guitarist Mark Morton joins the Loaded Radio Podcast to talk about his soulful new solo album Without The Pain, collaborating with late Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington, the creative process in Lamb Of God, and his honest thoughts on both current and former bandmates. Mark Morton Unleashes His Blues-Driven Side With Without The Pain Mark Morton isn't just the riff-slinging guitar beast from Lamb Of God. On this week's episode of the Loaded Radio Podcast, the guitarist pulls back the curtain on his newest solo release Without The Pain, a record steeped in blues, southern rock, and emotional depth. Released via Rise Records, Without The Pain features a diverse lineup of guests, including Cody Jinks, Neil Fallon (Clutch), Grace Bowers, Jason Isbell, Charlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke), and Jaren Johnston (The Cadillac Three). It's a sharp turn from the punishing rhythms of Lamb Of God, yet unmistakably Mark Morton. During the podcast, Morton explains how the album was years in the making, allowing him to fully explore the stylistic roots that shaped his musical identity long before he ever set foot on a metal stage.  Collaborating With Chester Bennington: The Story Behind “Cross Off” One of the most emotionally resonant points of the podcast is Morton's reflection on working with late Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington. The two teamed up on “Cross Off,” a standout track from Morton's 2019 debut solo album Anesthetic. Morton opens up about the power of that collaboration — how Bennington brought a raw intensity to the track, and how the session still resonates with him today. Lamb Of God, Sobriety, And Looking Forward Of course, no conversation with Mark Morton is complete without diving into Lamb Of God. In this episode, he shares honest reflections on the band's internal dynamics — both past and present. Morton touches on his long journey with sobriety, how it's impacted his creative process, and how the band's chemistry continues to evolve after more than two decades of making heavy music together. Morton also hints at what's ahead for Lamb Of God, suggesting that while his solo work is a vital creative outlet, there's plenty of fuel left in the fire when it comes to the band's future output.

Interview by Kris PetersMegadeth are one of the few bands in the world - of any genre - that need no introduction.For four decades they have been at the forefront of the metal landscape, with their most recent album The Sick, The Dying and The Dead their highest selling to date. Whereas most bands plateau somewhat or more often decline in the back end of their career Megadeth are doing the exact opposite.Which makes frontman Dave Mustaine one happy camper.Now, after nearly eight years, Megadeth are poised to return to Australia as part of Knotfest from March 24 to 26, with two side shows also scheduled for Adelaide and Melbourne.Which makes Mustaine even happier.HEAVY sat down for an awesome chat with the great man earlier this morning for a frank and open discussion about anything and everything.One of the topics of conversation was what has changed with Megadeth since their last venture Down Under in 2015."Well, ALOT," he laughed. "We've had some lineup changes and every time we do that the person that came in was better. When we parted ways with the drummer before Dirk (Verbeuren) - it was the person before Chris Adler, which was Shawn Drover - we tried to get the Rust In Peace line-up back together but it didn't work because Nick (Menza) went off one way and we went off the other. We contacted Adler and asked if he would play on the record and maybe contact Nick again and have him tour with us because he couldn't really do the record. That didn't work out either, so we had Chris do the record and stay, and while we were doing that Chris and his band parted ways and we didn't know if Chris was going to stay with us or stay with them. Of course, we wanted him to stay with Lamb Of God and I'm sad that he left and there's any kind of distance between the family. I do think that Art (Cruz) is an amazing drummer and then after that Chris Adler recommended Dirk, and Dirk is - in my mind - the best drummer we've had since Gar Samuelson. He's a big fan of Gar, and that is the power that drives Megadeth. Jazz metal, not rock metal. Nick was a super talented and powerful drummer and he fortunately was able to do a lot of those jazz hooks too, so we almost had that magic that we did when Gar was there. But we definitely had something which Gar did not, which was the power that Nick Menza possessed. Same thing can go down the line with the bass playing. (Dave) Ellefson was in the band, then was out. James (LoMenzo) came in, he was out. Ellefson came back because the Drover brothers kept pressuring me to do this, get Ellefson back. He came in and we had that weird shit that happened. I had Steve Di Giorgio come in and record the record and James is back and I love that he's back. The singing is fabulous on stage. He actually can sing really well, so he helps encourage me to sing. And then Kiko (Loureiro, guitars) as you know... I parted ways with Chris Broderick - I mean where do you go from having Marty Friedman and Chris Poland and it's time to make a guitar player change again? So Kiko, I saw a video on line of Kiko actually being put head to head against Chris Broderick, someone made a video of that, and I watched it and I went fuck I gotta get in touch with this guy. The funny thing is that when I contacted him he said that he had been talking to Ellefson, so when I talked to Ellefson the next time I said what the fucks wrong with you, man? Why didn't you tell me you know this guy(laughs)? So that was a great addition to the band. Kiko and James play really well together and Kiko and Dirk have an amazing ability to play those crazy riffs together. Of course, we can always be better, so we all go into the jam room every day and try and work on little bits and pieces of a song and our record producer is out with us on the road as our music director keeping our chops up."In the full interview, Dave talks about being part of Knotfest, the two sideshows and how they will differ from the festival shows, forty years in the music industry, listening to your body when it comes to performing, the increasing difficulty in coming up with a set list to keep fans happy, the early days of Megadeth and the musical climate that gave birth to the band, becoming more understanding of your environment with experience, musical trends and how they have affected Megadeth, what he hopes to leave as the band's musical legacy, the top three Commandments of Metal and more.

Since 1994 Lamb Of God have almost been in a league of their own.Formed by John Campbell and Chris Adler, with Mark Morton joining soon after followed by vocalist Randy Blythe after the bands third demo.After initially starting life as Burn The Priest, the band changed their name to the more user friendly Lamb Of God and released the album New American Gospel in late 2000, ushering heavy metal into the new millennium in style.In the 22 years since Lamb Of God have released nothing but quality albums, in the process entrenching their name amongst the greats of metal such as Metallica, Slayer and Pantera.Not content to be mentioned alongside such legendary acts, Lamb Of God have refused to rest on their laurels, pushing themselves on each new album. 2020's self titled release lit the fires for a new generation, but with their latest offering Omens set for release on October 7 you get the impression Lamb Of God are only just starting to fully settle into their groove.The press release calls Omens "arguably Lamb Of God's most aggressive and ambitious work to date", and after listening to an advance copy I would be hard pressed to argue.HEAVY caught up with Campbell earlier this week to discuss Omens."I'm excited to finally get it out there," he beamed. "We recorded it back in February and we were working on it well before that. I think it's our best record ever - as I do with every one because we're constantly trying to outdo ourselves and I think somehow we do it every time. This record is no different. This time we recorded it differently in that normally we would learn our parts, go to the studio, and go do the separate parts in the studio and track our parts and then that would be put together by the producer. This time we went in and tracked live to get that live feel. Those were the tracks we started with and pulled out the parts that were amazing. It was really for drum takes more than anything, but going for those live takes we really got the feel that they would translate well live so that was a different method of recording. The songs, I think we have really good at using our craft and writing. There are great songs on this that are very dynamic. There's more tunes as well as thrash. There's hard core and then a little experimental reaching out. Just some real heavy metal."In the full interview, John responds to the press releases claims about the album, tracking at Henson Recording Studios where artists like The Doors and The Ramones produced classic albums, the writing process from album to album and how it changes, the early days of Lamb Of God, why they chose Blythe as vocalist, a possible visit Down Under and more.

(Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 Lamb of God es una banda estadounidense de groove metal formada en Richmond, Virginia. Se formó en 1994 bajo el nombre de Burn the Priest​ y en 1999 lanzaron su álbum debut homónimo con Legion Records, poco después cambiaron su nombre a Lamb of God.​ La banda está formada por el vocalista Randy Blythe, los guitarristas Mark Morton y Willie Adler, el bajista John Campbell, y el baterista Art Cruz, y forma parte la New Wave of American Heavy Metal. Desde su formación la banda ha editado ocho álbumes de estudio, un álbum en directo y tres DVD. Lamb of God ha figurado dos veces en el festival Ozzfest, y formó parte de la gira The Unholy Alliance Tour emprendida por la banda Slayer en 2006. También han aparecido en los festivales Download, Gigantour y Soundwave. En 1990 el guitarrista Mark Morton, el baterista Chris Adler y el bajista John Campbell formaron una banda llamada Burn The Priest. Los miembros de la banda se conocían todos unos a otros de la facultad a la que asistían todos en la Virginia Commonwealth University de Richmond, Virginia. Morton dejó la banda poco después de la formación para graduarse en su máster. Adler y Campbell sustituyeron a Morton con Abe Spear. Durante los siguientes cinco años la banda ensayaba en casa de Adler y por Virginia. En 1995 editaron una demo homónima. Tras la demos, Burn The Priest grabó sendos álbumes compartidos con Zed y Agents Of Satan. Después de las primeras tres demos, el grupo incorporó a Randy Blythe a su formación. En 1997 Morton volvió al grupo. Dos años después la banda publicó su primer álbum de larga duración homónimo, Burn The Priest, mediante Legion Records. El álbum fue producido por Steve Austin, vocalista y guitarrista de Today Is The Day. Spear dejó la banda, dejando una vacante para un guitarrista. El hermano de Adler, Willie Adler, pasó a ser el segundo guitarrista del grupo un año después, y se firmó un contrato con Prosthetic Records. Después de que a la banda se le prohibiera tocar en determinados sitios (algunos propietarios de salas de concierto creían que la banda poseía un nombre malvado), Burn The Priest cambió su nombre a Lamb of God. Con nombre y discográfica nuevos la banda editó su segundo álbum y el primero bajo el nombre Lamb of God, New American Gospel, en septiembre de 2000. Patrick Kennedy de Allmusic comparó a la banda con Pantera, declarando que «los sellos esenciales del metal post-Pantera abundan en el álbum debut de Lamb Of God. New American Gospel proporciona un poderoso roble sobre el que se mantiene la valiente fe en el metal americano, tendiendo con eficacia un puente entre la insistencia de sargento instructror sobre la técnica de los 90 y el decidido enfoque en la construcción de riffs de la vieja escuela». Chris Adler comentó: «Éste es un disco clásico. Hicimos venir juntos todos los elementos para hacer uno de los más fuertes, aunque contagiosos, discos de nuestra carrera. Fue difícil contenernos ni siquiera entendimos en ese momento lo que habíamos creado». Lamb Of God salió de gira durante dos años antes de lanzar su tercer álbum de estudio As The Palaces Burn, el 6 de mayo de 2003. Kirk Miller de la revista Rolling Stone dio al álbum tres de cinco estrellas y escribió que «al contrario que muchos de sus extralimitados contemporáneos influenciados por Slipknot, Lamb Of God ofrece un asalto de metal meticulosamente manufacturado». En adición, el álbum destacó por su conservadora posición frente a la nueva generación de metal o nu metal, alejándose de cantos melódicos de corte comercial, manteniendo la línea impuesta desde su creación como Burn The Priest. Fue votado álbum número 1 por las revistas Revolver Magazine y Metal Hammer, también ostentó una nota de 8 sobre 10 en la página especializada Blabbermouth.net. El grupo estuvo de gira en el primer tour Headbangers Ball, donde grabaron un DVD que incluía actuaciones en vivo y un documental, titulado Terrors and Hubris. El DVD fue un éxito, debutando en el número 31 de la lista Billboard Top Music Videos. Lamb Of God publicó el álbum Ashes of the Wake en agosto de 2005, debutando en el número 37 del Billboard 200, y vendiendo más de 37.000 copias la primera semana. Epic Records, la nueva discográfica de la banda, distribuyó el disco. En este trabajo, se ve claramente el estilo sonoro de Lamb of God, empezando a situarse como uno de los grupos de metal (independientemente del género) que mejor suenan. Johnny Loftus de Allmusic elogió el disco diciendo que «con el género atascado por atontados de PVC e impersonalizadores de Alice In Chains, Lamb Of God equilibra la ecuación de poder, rabia, tradición y elaboración. El álbum, a pesar de caracterizar a la banda, el álbum fue criticado por su falta de identidad, a pesar de su transmisión dada por sus letras. Según la revisión realizada por Blabbermouth.net: «Es un sonido agresivo y característico, no obstante la sensación de recolección de riffs de Pantera con toques de Slayer le quita personalidad a muchas de sus canciones». En la canción que da título «Ashes of the Wake» al álbum figuran los exguitarristas de Testament y Megadeth Alex Skolnick y Chris Poland, respectivamente. La banda promocionó Ashes of the Wake con una extensa gira, figurando por segunda vez en el Ozzfest de 2004, y en festival Sounds of the Underground de 2005. La banda fue premiada en segundo lugar por el mejor álbum en la Revolver Magazine, por detrás el álbum Leviathan de Mastodon, y por el mejor vídeo gracias al videoclip de la canción «Now you've got something to die for». Durante el tour la banda grabó y público una actuación en vivo bajo el nombre de Killadelphia. Además del recital como tal, también se grabaron diversas tomas en las que se muestran las actividades de la banda durante el tour, actividades donde se evidencian situaciones jocosas o enfrentamientos (como cuando el guitarrista principal Mark Morton golpea a al vocalista Randy Blythe). El lanzamiento estuvo disponible en DVD y CD. El DVD fue certificado platino por la Asociación de la Industria Discográfica de Estados Unidos en 2007. En agosto de 2006 Lamb Of God publicó su quinto álbum de estudio, Sacrament.​ El álbum debutó en el número 8 del Billboard 200, y alcanzó cerca de 65.000 copias vendidas en la primera semana a la venta, casi doblando los resultados del anterior álbum. El disco recibió en general críticas positivas, como la de Cosmo Lee de Stylus Magazine declarando que «Sacrament tiene las canciones más memorables de la banda hasta la fecha. Musicalmente, no hay grasa. La banda toca con precisión láser y se mueve fluidamente entre riffs y transiciones. Ed Thompson de IGN se refirió a Sacrament: «uno de los mejores álbumes de metal de 2006». Jon Pareles de Blender lo denominó «un torrente constante». La banda figuró en grandes festivales para promocionar el álbum, incluyendo The Unholy Alliance con Slayer, Mastodon, Children of Bodom y Thine Eyes Bleed; Gigantour teloneando a Megadeth; escenario principal de Ozzfest; una aparición en el festival Download, y una gira exclusiva con Killswitch Engage, Soilwork, y Devildriver, donde Killswitch Engage y Lamb of God compartieron cabeza de cartel alternadamente en los shows. Con Sacrament, Lamb of God se confirma como uno de los mejores sonidos de Metal (independientemente del género) actuales. Lamb of God estuvo nominado a la mejor interpretación metal en los premios Grammy de 2007 por Redneck, pero perdió frente a Eyes of the Insane de Slayer. En diciembre de 2007 el grupo reeditó el álbum como Sacrament: Deluxe Producer Edition en un formato de disco doble. El formato contenía todas las canciones originales de Sacrament en el primer disco, y el segundo disco era un CD-ROM que contenía todas las pistas de guitarra, bajo, voz y batería en formato de mp3 a 192kbps, permitiendo al comprador producir su propia interpretación de las canciones. Blythe declaró, «a veces tienes que hacer algo especial para que los chicos incluso compren un álbum en lugar de descargarlo». La banda tomó un descanso para escribir nuevo material durante 2008 y preparar una nueva grabación para su lanzamiento, programado para 2009. La banda negoció con una nueva discográfica para distribuir los discos fuera de los Estados Unidos. Chris Adler declaró que Epic Records en los Estados Unidos «no podrían ser más perfectos», pero deseaba un sello diferente para lanzamientos internacionales. La banda firmó un acuerdo con Roadrunner el 1 de mayo de 2008 para la distribución en el resto del mundo. El 1 de mayo de 2008, Lamb of God anunció vía MySpace que su nuevo DVD, Walk with Me in Hell, sería publicado el de 1 de julio de 2008. El DVD contiene dos discos; en el primero se encuentra un documental muy al estilo del anterior DVD (Killadeplhia), en el cual nuevamente se observan las actividades como banda y como se lleva acabó el tour de promoción. En el segundo se encuentra el "making of" del álbum Sacrament,​ donde se expone el proceso de grabación por parte de los cinco miembros, además de escenas en las que se evidencian otros aspectos dentro de las vidas de los músicos. En total son más de cinco horas de metraje entre ambos discos. Al final del documental Walk with Me in Hell los miembros declararon que estaban más entusiasmados que nunca con para componer el nuevo material. En agosto de 2008 se anunció que la banda había comenzado a trabajar en la continuación de Sacrament, y que el lanzamiento estaba programado para febrero de 2009. Josh Wilbur fue nombrado como productor del disco. El grupo también estuvo de gira como teloneros de Metallica empezando en diciembre de 2008. El proceso de grabación estuvo disponible en línea a través de la web del grupo, con webcams instaladas en el estudio (específicamente en la salas de batería y de mezclas). El nuevo disco llamado Wrath fue publicado el 24 de febrero de 2009 en los EE. UU. a través de Epic Records y el 23 de febrero de 2009 mediante Roadrunner Records. El baterista Chris Adler fue citado diciendo «este álbum va a sorprender a mucha gente. Normalmente las bandas que llegan donde estamos nosotros en nuestra carrera empiezan a aflojar, oler las rosas y vomitar. Nosotros elegimos un camino diferente. Nadie quiere oír a otro miembro de un grupo haciendo promoción de un nuevo disco. Wrath no lo necesita. Hemos llegado a nuestro apogeo y el 24 de febrero lo vais a sentir». Wrath debutó en el número 2 del Billboard 200, vendiendo más de 68.000 copias en la primera semana. En la edición especial del álbum se añaden tres temas adicionales y además se incluye un segundo disco titulado Wrath Tour 2009-2010, en el que se presenta un recopilado de varios temas grabados en vivo en los diferentes recitales dados por el quinteto. Empezando el 2 de abril de 2009, Lamb of God se embarcó en la gira No Fear No Energy Tour encabezada por ellos mismos con Children of Bodom y As I Lay Dying como teloneros principales, y God Forbid y Municipal Waste rotando en algunas aperturas de conciertos. El 11 de junio de 2009 Lamb Of God ofreció su primer concierto en España aprovechando su participación en el festival Sonisphere de Barcelona, junto a bandas de gran calibre como Metallica, Slipknot, Machine Head, Down y Mastodon.,​​ teloneando los días 13 y 14 del mismo mes a Metallica en el Palacio de los Deportes de Madrid junto con Mastodon. Posteriormente el 9 de julio del mismo año por primera y única ocasión participaron en el Optimus Alive Festival de Lisboa, Portugal con las mismas bandas. Además, la banda realiza su primera gira Suramericana, llegando a países como Colombia, Venezuela, Chile, etc. Con una gran acogida, los recitales fueron realizados mayoritariamente en teatros de poca capacidad (entre 400 o 600 personas). En el caso particular de Colombia; el recital fue dado en el teatro Metropol, donde a pesar de su reducido tamaño, el sitio se llenó casi en su totalidad, dejando a un número importante de personas fuera del recital. Lamb of God actuó en el Mayhem Festival 2010 en el Main Stage junto con Korn, Rob Zombie, y Five Finger Death Punch. Otros grupos serán: Atreyu, In This Moment, 3 Inches of Blood, Hatebreed, Chimaira, Shadows Fall, y Winds of Plague. Lamb of God también fueron nominados a un Grammy en 2010 por la categoría Mejor Interpretación Metal, con «Set to Fail» pero el premio fue para Judas Priest. Lamb of God actuó en el Download Festival 2010 después de ser confirmados a través de la web oficial del festival a las 00.30 del 16 de febrero. Ésta fue su tercera vez en Download Festival. Lamb of God también actuó por primera vez en las Filipinas, en el PULP Summer Slam anual del 17 de abril, con el legendario grupo de thrash Testament. El grupo también actuó en India por primera vez el 15 de mayo de 2010, encabezando el festival Summer Storm de Bangalore. Han programado actuaciones para sus fanes turcos en Kucukciftlik Park, Estambul, el 17 de mayo. El 19 de abril, IGN lanzó un vídeo 'making of' de Lamb of God trabajando en su próximo sencillo, «Hit the Wall,» el cual enseguida se filtró y se puede encontrar en internet, sin las voces todavía, aquí. El sencillo aparece en el videojuego Iron Man 2, que salió a la venta el 4 de mayo de 2010. Anunciado el 31 de octubre de 2011, el más reciente álbum de la banda se hizo esperar hasta el 24 de enero de 2012. Al igual que el anterior álbum de la banda, este fue producido y mezclado por Josh Wilbur. El álbum debutó en el número 3 en el Billboard 200 y número 1 en la lista rock. El álbum vendió alrededor de 52 000 copias en los EE. UU. durante la primera semana de lanzamiento. En cuanto a su acogida, Resolution recibió en su mayoría críticas positivas. En Metacritic, el disco alcanzó una puntuación global de 72 sobre 100, basado en 18 comentarios de los críticos profesionales. Rick Florino de ARTISTdirect dio al álbum 5 de 5 estrellas afirmando que era «Lamb of God en su máxima expresión». Carla Gillis de Now Magazine le dio tres de cinco estrellas y dijo: «Resolution es tan agresivo como siempre, no es poca cosa para una banda que cuenta ya siete producciones. Este disco esta plagado de riffs memorables (Desolation, The Undertow, Barbarosa). Además de las composiciones acústicas rescatadas del Wrath (Ghost Walking o King me)». Según Blabbermouth.net, Resolution es el resultado de la experiencia de Lamb of God, desatando el groove clásico de la banda, pero añadiendo nuevos elementos que incrementan el nivel artístico de las composiciones. Canciones como «King Me» ahora traen elementos melódicos de otros géneros, como el soprano, y otras como «Insurrection» acercan a Randy Blythe a un estilo más relajado, sin ser necesariamente melódico. Tras el lanzamiento del álbum, la gira promocional fue la más grande que ha realizado la banda. En compañía de bandas como Hatebreed, Slayer, Machine Head, etc. La gira comenzó el 22 de enero de 2012 con un concierto en la ciudad natal de la banda, es decir en Richmond, Virginia. Después recorrieron gran parte de Norteamérica para que posteriormente llegaran Asia, luego pasando por Australia (siendo banda de cabecera en el Festival de Soundwave), para posteriormente terminar en América Latina. En mayo de 2012, la banda tocó las fechas en India e Israel siendo estos dos los únicos países orientales en los que tocaron antes de comenzar un mes de gira europea. El 28 de junio de 2012, poco después de que la banda hubiera aterrizado en el aeropuerto de Ruzyne para su concierto programado esa noche en Praga, el vocalista Randy Blythe fue arrestado por cargos de homicidio por un incidente que había tenido lugar dos años antes en medio del tour de promoción de su anterior álbum Wrath. De acuerdo a los informes policiales, un joven de 19 años llamado Daniel N. fue empujado por Blythe después de que saltó al escenario durante el último concierto de la banda en Praga en el club Abaton el 24 de mayo de 2010. El joven cayó directamente sobre su cabeza, adquiriendo de esta manera un trauma cerebral grave y, finalmente, cayendo en coma. Murió de sus heridas unas semanas más tarde. Los representantes de la banda han dicho que Blythe fue «acusado injustamente», y que «esperan que sea totalmente exonerado». El 30 de junio de 2012, el Tribunal de Distrito de Praga 8 dictaminó que Blythe debería cumplir una pena en prisión provisional, ya que se considera como un riesgo de fuga. El juez también dictaminó unas sesiones más tarde que Blythe podía ser liberado con una fianza de CZK 4 000 000, aproximadamente 200 000 dólares americanos. En consecuencia de este incidente el concierto en Praga y apariciones en festivales en el With Full Force en Alemania y en el Festival de metal Tuska Open Air en Finlandia fueron cancelados. El 17 de julio de 2012, una representación de tres jueces en el Tribunal Municipal de Praga revisó la decisión de otorgar una fianza por parte del Tribunal 8 de Praga, siendo revisada por el Tribunal superior, concluyendo que la Fianza en favor a Blythe debió ser el doble de la impuesta, pasando de CZK 4 000 000 a CZK 8 000 000, aproximadamente 400 000 dólares americanos. El 26 de julio de 2012, se confirmó que la próxima gira por Estados Unidos en compañía de Dethklok y Gojira seria cancelada, con base también en la encarcelación de Blythe en Praga. El 2 de agosto de 2012, Blythe fue puesto en libertad después de pasar más de un mes en prisión en Praga. Después de 37 días en prisión preventiva, el 2 de agosto de 2012, Blythe fue puesto en libertad bajo fianza, con ayuda del fondo en pro a la liberación de Blythe (Free Randy) que fue creado por los otros miembros de la banda y que funcionaba de acuerdo a las donaciones aportadas por los fanes de la banda, lo que permitió a Lamb of God para continuar su gira en 2012. El 3 de agosto de 2012, la banda anunció que una gira por los Estados Unidos sería reservada o pospuesta para comenzar el 30 de octubre de 2012. La banda había cancelado previamente apariciones en los dos eventos Knotfest, el festival de música inaugural creado por Slipknot, que se celebrará a mediados de agosto, pero tras la liberación de Blythe, se restableció a pocas semanas del día del evento. Ya para el 5 de septiembre de 2012, la banda anunció fechas para su gira por Estados Unidos, que comenzaría a partir 30 de octubre de 2012 en Phoenix, Arizona, con In Flames como soporte junto con Hatebreed. El 19 de noviembre sería Hellyeah quien acompañaría a Lamb of God en la fecha respectiva, terminando así el tour desde el 20 de noviembre hasta el 16 de diciembre con Sylosis, una banda británica encargada de dar el acto de apertura en todas las fechas contempladas en este periodo de tiempo. Blythe fue acusado de los cargos en diciembre de 2012, pero fue absuelto el 5 de marzo de 2013 no obstante, la fiscalía planeo apelar la sentencia absolutoria, concluyendo que Blythe es inocente de los cargos. Lamb of God se formó como una banda instrumental, Burn the Priest, e incorporando un vocalista al unirse Randy Blythe al grupo. Después de alcanzar el éxito con el lanzamiento en 2004 del álbum Ashes of the Wake. Burn the Priest y los tempranos Lamb of God han sido etiquetados como thrash metal y death metal con influencias de metalcore o grindcore híbrido con fuertes elementos de groove metal, que a menudo conecta al grupo con la influyente banda Pantera. Burn the Priest y Lamb of God incluyen guturales característicos del death metal, y a veces letras difíciles de descifrar al oído. El estilo es considerado como una variación entre varios géneros, incluyendo el metalcore, el thrash metal, el death metal e incluso poseyendo influencias de sludge metal. New American Gospel continúa con un estilo similar a Burn the Priest, con una fuerte producción enfocada en el «Twin» (doble bombo) de la batería. Aquí, Allmusic consideró que la banda tendía con éxito un puente entre la tendencia de los 90 a la técnica y en enfoque del metal reciente en la construcción de riffs y que toca un estilo de heavy metal descrito no como contrario a Meshuggah, sin algunos de sus componentes de math metal. En En Ashes of the Wake continuaron con la progresión de As the Palaces Burn con solos de guitarra más frecuentes. Sacrament, editado en 2005, fue descrito por los críticos como más técnico, considerando especialmente la interpretación vocal. De nuevo, el grupo experimentó con más melodías y solos de guitarra. Debido a la variedad de las influencias, los elementos estilísticos y cambios a lo largo de la carrera de Lamb of God, la prensa ha elegido varios géneros y términos para describir su música. Han sido etiquetados como un grupo de groove metal y pure american metal. Campbell, el bajista, en el DVD Walk With Me in Hell, dice que Lamb of God es una banda punk que toca heavy metal», mientras que Chris Adler se refiere a Sacrament como álbum de speed metal.

We discuss how the band formed, what Firstborne offers for Adler that Lamb of God no longer did, and more. The post Firstborne's Chris Adler (ex-Lamb of God) and Myrone on The MetalSucks Quarantinecast #26 appeared first on MetalSucks.

Setting The Tone top 20 albums of 2020     #1Grey Daze Amends, okay so this is Setting The Tone number one album and there's been a lot of emotion behind my call whilst this year has truly sucked for many for so many reasons, the one thing that has been amazing is this year we have had some stunning albums from so many different artists, we have had singles, and eps and albums that have all been great to distract us from the true reality of 2020. so I have chosen Grey Daze and their album Amends, why you ask well simply I'm a huge fan of the 90's Rock sound, but what this comes down to is that this is an album that is made up of original songs and re worked, sadly in 2017 the world lost an incredible artist in Chester Bennington, Grey Daze was the band  he was in before Linkin Park prior to his death plans where in motion to play an anniversary show in Arizona at the famous club tattoo, and even re-recording some of the original tracks from the bands earlier albums, however as well know Chester lost his battle with depression. Some time had passed and Sean Dodwell one of the bands original foundering members reached out to Chester's; family about finishing what he and Chester had discussed in 2017. With the families wishes he and Mace Beyers, Cristin Davies along with some amazing producers set to work on breathing new life into these songs. Using the original tapes from 20 years ago. And the results are breath taking. I was lucky enough to interview Mace about the album and Chester. Honestly this album is an emotional roller-coaster but the work and dedication that went into this album is incredible everyone has poured their heart and soul into it. And this is why it's my number 1 album of 2020   #2 Deftones Ohms I don't know really what to say that has not been said about this album, it's the follow up to 2016 Gore in in my opinion this is miles ahead of gore, it feels the guys went back to an earlier sound that of white pony, it's just amazing and one to put on and just sit back relax and hear the amazing sounds that only Deftones can offer.   #3 Trivium what the dead men say in all honesty it's hard for me not to put this in my top 2, it's so strong and I feel that Trivium have really found something with this I loved their previous two albums Silence in the snow and The sin and the sentence, but they in reality those albums where the ground work to what was being for this album, its heavy, its fast and brutal and see's Trivium in my opinion hit their best form to date.   #4 Lamb of God -Lamb of God this is LOG first album without Chris Adler who had this unique sound, and I took me a couple of listens with this album to truly apricate Art cruiz the new mam behind the kits style, and in all honesty as much as I miss Chris Adler this is log BEST ALBUM in a long time.   #5 Killer be killed Reluctant hero ,KILLER BE KILLED is Greg Puciato (The Dillinger Escape Plan, The Black Queen), Troy Sanders (Mastodon, Gone Is Gone), Max Cavalera (Soulfly, Cavalera Conspiracy, ex-Sepultura) and Ben Koller (Converge, Mutoid Man, All Pigs Must Die) This album is just amazing, you don't get time with this album to breath as each track rolls perfectly into the next, this has a bit of black sabbthy style riffs to punk to hardcore to thrash just awesome   #6 Creeper Sex death and the infinite void, this album was a great follow up from Creeper, offers to perfect bland of Rock with Emotional tones achieving the band a top 5 in 2020,   #7 Biffy Clyro A celebration of endings, this caught me off guard as I did not think this album was going to be so good, I have not enjoyed a Biffy album since only revolutions as that was so strong every song on that album felt like it could be a single, Biffy were album to secure a number 1 album with this and for me it just shows why Andy Copping and Download Festival are right to put their faith in them to headliner the main stage at next year's Download festival for only their second time.   #8 Ozzy Osbourne no ordinary man, this perhaps is the album I have heard from Ozzy in recent years where I get to sit back and go Ozzy you have delivered, I know many are torn over it as there are a host of amazing musicians that appear on the album from Slash, Duff. But for me it's so good and it feels that if this is to be to prince of darkness last album then it's a perfect one to end on.     #9 LOATHE `I let it in and it took everything, believe me when I say this, I wish I could put this album higher up the list but it's been that dam good of a year for music, however this debut album is out of this world a slight Deftones feel to this album amazing.   #10 All time Low wake up sunshine this is a band that when they announced they was going to release their 9th Album I was a bit on the fence I felt they had lost their way with their later albums. However, wake up sunshine is a great return to form and I feel they have really found the perfect balance between earlier material and now.     #11 Green Day Farther of All MotherFuckers what I loved about this album is yet again Green Day are not afraid to change the game with their sound, this album is completely different to anything before it, it has this vibe of like a 50's Rock n roll feel love it   #12 Five finger death punch F8 sees a great return to form for Five fingers death punch for their 8th album packed with the sound of five finger death punch but this an album that feels. More personal   #13 Phoxjaw Royal swan, is Phoxjaw debut album an album that takes so many different paths, and I really enjoyed that it does not stick to just one path   #14 Pearl Jam Gigaton Pearl Jam return with their 10th Album and the follow up to 2013 Lighting Bolt, there are moments of excitement but this is more of a slower paced album than lightning bolt.   #15 Machine Gun Kelly tickets to my downfall so MGK has gone down a different path, the joke is Eminem Kill shot in response to MGK rap devil made MGK go into to the pop punk game with this album he has teamed up with Travis Barker from Blink 182, and the results of this album are surprising go   #16 Enter shikari nothing is true & everything is, I know this may not please many but Enter shikari is a band I have never really gotten into but this album had me hooked just so good and its one that takes so many twists and turns was one that caught me off guard at how good it is   #17 Bush The kingdom I will admit I have heard the name of this band for many years but never really took the time to listen to what they had to offer, well what a mistake the kingdom is stanning packed with Rif and   #18 Seether Si Vis Pacem, para Bellum, the album title stands for if you want peace prepare for war. Seether are a band I have loved since 2005, their grunge rock sound with heavy tones is something I just really love to hear them, this album is their best in a while, its heavy in your face and angry     #19 Kill The Lights the sinner , so this was a last minute changed around and honestly its been so hard to rank this albums this year, it has been such a strong year, however this album reminded me so much of Bullet for my valentine debut album and I'm trying not say it's because of Moose their ex drummer but this album has the hunger, the fire that that debut album from Bullet had this is such an amazing debut album   #20 Anchor Lane Casino Anchor lane is a band who starting to make some really big noise in the scene they're about to make their second appearance at next year's Download Festival and that takes me doing when you're still finding your way as a band, their debut album is just so much fun to listen to, check out Setting The Tone's Interview with https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/9csjvq/Conor_Gaffney_Anchor_Lane_interview_final_mix60ngp.mp3   Some that despite their sheer brilliance did not quite get into the top 20 list #21 The Used Heart work a good album from the used for me it went a bit strange in the middle of the album #22 Orbital junction Egos and Instincts I love this genre so much the riffs are sludgy and it's just a great album to chill out too #23 Alpha wolf a quiet place to die is a great follow up to their debut album mono, its heavy and one that will go over very well live #24 Haken virus Haken Virus is just incredible within the first few tracks I was hooked and wanted to add the rest of this awesome bands back catalogue, I admit it took a Facebook advert for me to try this out I knew very little of this band. I'm just happy I tried #25 Boston Manor Glue Boston Manor is a band I got into a few years back and have never looked back, Glue is a great alternative it's a great rock album. I picked this has I've liked this bands previous work, there is great energy from this album and is different from everything else on this list         You can find this episode and previous episodes from Setting The Tone in the below links Spotfiy https://open.spotify.com/show/6Jj9SsrXxve44839dptihN… Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/setting-the-tone/id1499390718 Google https://podcasts.google.com/?q=setting%20the%20tone podbean https://Settingthetone2.podbean.com   Thank you to our sponsor @The Guitar Ninja Academy, the best place to become a guitar master.

This week, Raw takes the bold step of recommending music he's not bothered to listen to. We also talk about new music from Chris Adler's new band Firstborne, and a new signing to Roadrunner Records (Mess of Wires). Then we dive into the most Metal video games out there, with some pretty heavy lusting over Frontpunk...

Dirk Verbeuren has played drums on more extreme metal releases than is reasonable or appropriate for any single human. He took over for Chris Adler as the drummer for Megadeth in 2016, but that hasn’t stopped him from continuing to release underground release after underground release — including material with the recently revived Cadaver. Dirk not only has freakish technical skill, but he also has the ability to deploy that skill as an improvisational master, an incredible mimic, or a deliberate and exacting architect of complex drumming. Dirk is not just a musician, but is also a drum teacher. His analytical side allows him to be self-reflective and discuss what his thought process looks like while composing and playing. And, this conversation took some unexpected turns into the dangers of conspiracy theories and why even folks with a “dark side” who gravitate toward extreme metal should still work on being more present. Check out more from Dirk here: Website: www.dirkverbeuren.com | www.megadeth.com Instagram: @dirkverbeuren | @megadeth | @bentsea_ Bandcamp: Bent Sea Radio Show: Dirk’s Extreme Blast airs on Gimme Radio Dig into Dirk’s impressive discography and a few of his recommended releases here: Encyclopedia Metallum Sybreed “Antares” Obsydians “Psychodynamics” Tronos “Celestial Mechanics” Scarve “Irradiant” If you're enjoying the show, the best way to support it is by sharing with your friends.

Show Notes: [02:34] Improvisation vs having specific instructions when doing drum session work [07:00] Mimicry vs creativity while filling in — including for Megadeth. Dave Mustaine’s desire for everyone in the band to have creative freedom. [17:46] Growing up with parents supportive of Dirk’s interest in musice — including buying Cannibal Corpse and NWA records with “concerning” cover art [21:55] The balance between being analytical and creative — including Dirk’s interest in science as a kid and the dangers of science denialism and conspiracy theories. [33:20] Touring internationally and being exposed to different cultures [37:05] What is the difference between the ability to mimic and the ability to be creative? How can musicians learn to “turn off” their analytical side in order to be creative? [50:00] Learning to be more present and the dangers of overwork and burnout. [57:33] People into extreme music often have a “darkness,” but that doesn’t mean they can’t benefit from cultivating the skill of presence.

I veckans mastodontavsnitt lyssnar vi på alternativ rock från Supertuesday som lämnat tonårsfebrila texter bakom sig och skriver istället om vår verklighet med dess fram- och motgångar (och som gör oss filosofiska). Våra öron manglas sedan sönder av Wretched Fate som med avgrundsvrål och distade gitarrer hyllar death metal som genre men samtidigt lyckas vara en del av det på ett imponerande plan. Pratar också om: Festivalen som regnade bort, Wilmer X, sämre bandnamn, Jeff Buckley, Leonard Cohen, Phil Collins, Stephen King, Lamb of God (främst Chris Adler), Lemmy, ett gäng skådespelare, Foo Fighters, Coldplay, innebörden av att vara sig själv, Glenns gamla punkband (igen), Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Bloodbath och känslan av att ha upplevt något men med ålderns rätt tro sig ha fantiserat det. http://nevertooloud.se/

After seven full-length albums, Lamb of God has titled their eighth studio record with their own name, suggesting that “Lamb of God” is the statement of a band prepared to fully embrace their place as a veteran metal act.

The North American Competitive Beard & Moustache Alliance (NACBMA) again invites you to one of the most amazing charity facial hair competition in North America! Join us September 29th, 2018 in Richmond, Virginia for the 2018 Great American Beard & Moustache Championship to benefit the The Humane Society of the United States and the Pink Ink Fund.  The 2018 GABMC will be hosted by the guys and gals of the RVA Beard League and The Alliance (NACBMA) member clubs. Additional details are available at GreatAmericanBMC.org:    https://www.greatamericanbmc.org/tickets https://www.greatamericanbmc.org/categories https://www.greatamericanbmc.org/sponsors-vendors https://www.greatamericanbmc.org/travel-info https://www.greatamericanbmc.org/hotels   Side Events Planned: ⇨ 9/27 - Thursday night - Official Kickoff Party for the 2018 GABMC https://www.facebook.com/events/178439266174106/   ⇨ 9/28 - Friday daytime event - James River Tubing Trip for the 2018 GABMC https://www.facebook.com/events/452443308538033/   ⇨ 9/28 - Friday night - Welcome Party + Merch Market for the 2018 GABMC https://www.facebook.com/events/210475522929833/   ⇨ 9/30 - Sunday - Farewell Brunch for the 2018 GABMC https://www.facebook.com/events/303652576851856/   The 2018 GABMC GroupMe is live! It's great for coordinating and sorting out who's where when you get into town and get some local opinions on what to see and where to eat in town. https://groupme.com/join_group/43432906/OY6jwd   Welcome Party + Merch Market for the 2018 GABMC. If you want to get a jump on things and not wait in line there, we're selling tickets in advance so you can just pick them up at the raffle table upstairs! They're going for $1/each, 10 tickets + 1 "pleenko" drop for $10, or 20 tickets + 3 "pleenko" chances for $20! http://rvabeardleague.storenvy.com/…/24543804-2018-gabmc-ra…  Sometimes called pre-judging, though there are no scores involved at this step, the pre-jurors see that competitors are in fact entered in the category to which they are most suited, much like the Sorting Hat from Harry Potter. They determine a competitor’s category, making sure lengths are accurate and what’s presented matches the criteria for your category. While a competitor may believe he or she should be in one specific category, the panel assures that the judges are evaluating like competitors and that you’re on-stage in the right category. In order to minimize your time standing in line, we’ve doubled the Pre-Jury and Registration Panel since the last time in Denver. We’ll have a total of 8 pre-jurors at 4 tables with 2 registration stations, with half of them dedicated to Full Beard category competitors. Pre-jurors will be paired and evaluating facial hair types for which they would be ineligible, e.g.. Moustache competitors will be evaluated by Full Beard pre-jurors. ***Artistic category competitors will need have a photo of their creation on hand, if they’re not wearing it, for the pre-jurors to evaluate. *** THERE WILL BE 2 WINDOWS FOR REGISTRATION AND CHECK-IN: EARLY (FRI NIGHT) AND DAY-OF. ⇨ The first, and preferred, is Early Registration on Friday night at the Welcome Party + Merch Market for the 2018 GABMC at the Canal Club, from 7:00-9:30 PM. That way you already have your number and swag bag, you can just show your ticket to get in on Saturday, and you won’t have to carry around your swag bag all day Saturday. We’ll have a basic pre-jury panel there Friday night to get you registered and checked in. ⇨ The second is Day-of Registration on-site at the Remington Beard Boss 2018 Great American BMC at The National, from 1:00-3:00 PM. We’ll have our full panel there to speed things along. The following prejurors are all knowledgeable, experienced competitors and judges who understand how important it is that you’re in the right category.

Best known as a member and founder of metal band Lamb of God and Grammy Award winning member of Megadeth, Chris began Lamb of God in 1994 under the moniker Burn the Priest with dorm-mate, best friend, and it’s current bass player, John Campbell. Both previously served as judges at the RVA Beard League’s annual charity competition, the Mid-Atlantic Beard & ‘Stache Championships. Chris became a member of thrash metal band Megadeth from 2014-2016, collaborating and working closely with Megadeth’s primary songwriter and founder, Dave Mustaine and is credited in helping write their 15th album, “Dystopia.” Chris performed most live world-wide touring dates in support of that album. In his 5th Grammy nomination, "Dystopia" won Chris his first Grammy Award for the Best Metal Performance at the 59th Grammy Awards. In 2006 Adler collaborated with revered progressive guitarist Ron Jarzombek beginning the project Blotted Science, and in 2010, Adler moved to Toronto for 6 weeks and recorded and helped write the album "Volition" with the progressive metal band Protest The Hero. The album went on to win and provide Chris his first Juno Award (the Canadian equivalent to the U.S. Grammy). In 2014 he contributed several drum tracks to the Testament album “Dark Roots of the Earth.” In 2016 Adler recorded three songs with Jim Gillette, Michael Angelo Batio, and Victor Wooten in a California studio for a Nitro reunion album.

They speak to his prowess as a drummer, his incredible relationship with his brother, Darrell “Dimebag” Abbott, his drive to honor his brother’s life and legacy… and of course tell tales about Vin’s crazy old-school limousine, his big breakfasts, and the cabana suite on his Dallas compound!

Our guest this week on your favorite metal podcast was suggested to us by none other than Chris Adler of Lamb of God back when he was on the podcast last year, although we have been fans of Allegaeon for quite a while outside of that endorsement. In our interview with guitarist Greg Burgess we talk about trying to top what you think is your best work, the shuffling of the staff around the band, manager and booking agent and why they needed to make a change, what surrounded the shift in singers for their new record Proponent for Sentience, and we find out how much it costs to get Bill Nye in your music video. We also discuss the non-beef beef that came up this week between Born of Osiris guitarist Born of Osiris and The Acacia Strain's Vincent Bennett. What appeared to be drunk Tweets got serious when the metal media paid it some attention. Are we taking ourselves too seriously? Drunk Tweets are just drunk Tweets, right? Even if you are picking a fight with someone who doesn't even know why you are fighting with them in the first place. When a band feels they have to diffuse a situation as the first reaction to something that can be attributed to an over-the-limit BAC level, maybe we need to adopt a sense of humor. Let's just apologize now for our discussion too while we're at it. Songs: Allegaeon – "All Hail Science" Steve N Seagulls – "Symphony of Destruction"

LA based artist duo Chris Adler and Ali Edmark are the co-directors and curators behind the collaborative exhibition space VACANCY.

Welcome back! After a short break from the podcast, we welcome you back to the realm of the UnGodly. Ian is out crashing a wedding this week, so Ryan and Kevin break down some of the interesting inner workings of the metal world. Ryan just got a wild ass new guitar, so he's been a hermit, Kevin went and saw Alice in Chains and his mind was blown and we show you a new band called Dystrophy. Iron Maiden has an awesome mobile game, there's a rumored release date for the new Metallica album, Chris Adler is done with Megadeth, Robb Flynn is down with Spotify and YouTube and the Discharge/Eyehategod tour was resheduled. 

This week on the Talk Toomey podcast, Dave Ellefson calls in to discuss Dystopia, EMP Label Group and Roast in Peace coffee. We discuss the additions of Kiko and Chris Adler to the Megadeth lineup. Dave tells a great story about a band changing moment on the Killing is my Business tour. He goes over the mission of the EMP Label Group. Dave gives us all a lesson on the best climate and growing conditions for coffee. Also on this episode: Shout outs for sharing.
