Product Information: - Title of Product: Desolation: A Heavy Metal Memoir by Morton, Mark|Opipari, Ben [Royal Edition] Author: Morton, Mark|Opipari, Ben Number of Pages: 320 Publication Year: 2024 Language: English Book Synopsis: - A gritty, revealing heavy metal memoir by Lamb of God's guitarist and lyricist, Mark Morton, which explores both his life in music and his tumultuous path through addiction and into recovery For a band as extreme as Lamb of God, mainstream success and touring the world to massive audiences was an almost surreal achievement. But for guitarist and lyricist Mark Morton, the triumph was dulled by the pain of addiction and loss. In DESOLATION: A Heavy Metal Memoir , Morton traces the highs and the lows of his career and personal life, revealing how the pressures of success and personal battles eventually came into conflict with his dedication to the creative process. Morton writes about the greatest personal tragedy of his life: the death of his newborn daughter, which plunged Morton further into hopelessness. Surrounded by bandmates living their wildest dreams, Morton wanted nothing more than to disappear, ingesting potentially lethal cocktails of drugs and alcohol on a daily basis. And yet intertwined with self-destruction and harrowing heartbreak, there were moments of joy, self-acceptance, and incredible connection. Morton developed close relationships with his bandmates and crew members, sharing experiences that have made for some strange and hilarious tales. He also gained a greater sense of purpose through interactions with his fans, who remind him that his work reaches people on a deeply personal level. DESOLATION is, at its core, about Morton's journey as a musician navigating self-doubt, anxiety, and the progressive disease of addiction, and ultimately finding relative serenity and gratitude.
