“Cross Off” will be part of Mark Morton’s solo album
Lamb of God guitarist returns with the second single from his debut solo album, Anesthetic, which arrives on March 1st. The song was recorded in April 2017 and was written by Mark Morton , Chester Bennington , Jake Oni , and producer Josh Wilbur . Listen to the song on all digital platforms here .
Morton recorded all the guitars with Paolo Gregoletto and Alex Bent ( Trivium ) playing bass and drums. The songwriting began between Morton, Wilbur, and Oni before the three approached Chester Bennington (former Linkin Park , who died in July 2017) about taking on the vocals. Bennington loved the song and came to the studio with additional ideas and lyrics that, along with his unique and incredible vocal style, shaped the song.
Morton said his experience working on the track with Bennington was a “very natural and fluid process. We both really loved the song from the start and everyone who worked on it put a lot of energy and emotion into it. I feel you can really hear that in the track, and absolutely in Chester’s performance.”
