Lamb of God’s Mark Morton to Reflect on Tragedy, Hope in ‘Desolation’ Memoir

Lamb of God guitarist Mark Morton will release a memoir, 'Desolation,' this summer.

Mark Morton, the guitarist who co-founded the heavy-metal group Lamb of God three decades ago, will release a memoir this summer that looks back on the triumphs and tragedies of his life so far. In the book Desolation: A Heavy Metal Memoir, which will come out June 25, the musician reflects on how he felt like he had to push forward with the band even after the death of his newborn daughter in 2009. In 2019, Morton released his debut solo album, Anesthetic, which featured guest appearances by Mark Lanegan, Lamb of God’s Randy Blythe, and Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington on one of the latter’s final recordings.
