Rise Records are pleased to announce the signing of LAMB OF GOD guitarist MARK MORTON and the upcoming release of his brand new solo EP, titled ‘Ether’, in January 2020.
‘Ether’ is the follow-up to Mark Morton’s acclaimed debut solo record ‘Anesthetic’. The EP consists of five songs – three original tracks and two covers – and includes special guests Lzzy Hale (Halestorm), Howard Jones (Light The Torch), John Carbone (Moon Tooth), and Mark Morales (Sons Of Texas) who also appeared on ‘Anesthetic’ and will perform with Mark on his January 2020 UK acoustic tour.
First single, ‘All I Had To Lose (feat. Mark Morales)’ will be released on January 10th. The EP was produced and mixed by Josh Wilbur.
Mark Morton comments, “I’m thrilled to announce the upcoming release of my new, five song EP, ‘Ether’, out in January on Rise Records! Once again, I’ve had the great pleasure of working with some amazingly talented artists and friends to assemble this collection of tunes, all of which feature a strong acoustic guitar component.
Inspired by the acoustic sets I had the opportunity to perform last spring and summer in support of ‘Anesthetic’, I began writing some new songs to reflect that more mellow vibe. I’m stoked with the results and I can’t wait for everyone to hear what we’ve been putting together. I’ll be debuting these tunes on my upcoming U.K. acoustic tour, so you can hear them live before they’re released anywhere else!
I continue to be honoured to have the chance to work with so many incredibly talented people and I remain beyond grateful to the fans that have come along with me and supported these projects. Thanks so much everyone!“
