While he's best known for shredding away with Lamb of God, Mark Morton is putting aside thrash and death metal for a minute to showcase his Southern rock and blues chops, as is apparent in his latest solo record, Without The Pain.

While many may not associate Morton with these genres due to his standing in metal, they're well within his wheelhouse. “I was probably tuned into this kind of music even before heavy metal," he tells Guitarist.
