Mark Morton releases new song ‘Cross Off’

Mark Morton has released a brand new song!

Titled Cross Off, the new song is taken from the LAMB OF GOD guitarist’s upcoming new solo album, Anesthetic, which is set for release in March this year.

The new song features a guest appearance from the late Chester Bennington. The track was recorded in April 2017 and written by Mark Morton, Chester Bennington, Jake Oni and producer Josh Wilbur. Morton recorded all guitars with Paolo Gregoletto and Alex Bent (TRIVIUM) handling bass and drums. The composition of the song began between Morton, Wilbur and Oni before the three approached Bennington about singing vocals.

Speaking about the track and working with BenningtonMark Morton says, “[it] was a very free flowing and natural process. We both really loved the song from its inception and everyone that worked on it put a lot of energy and emotion into it. I feel like you can really hear that in the track, and absolutely in Chester’s performance.”
