Album cover[edit]

I'm going to add the album cover ~~in a few days~~. Update: done. It can be found on Mark Morton's website. Qzekrom (talk) 06:27, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

On the genre section[edit]

I realize Mark had a pretty specific intention to write a tribute to his favorite heroes in the hard rock genre, but his tone and tempo are nearly identical to a LoG album and he's playing almost exclusively with heavy metal players like Ray Luzier, Dave Ellefson, and Paolo Gregoletto, to say nothing of the vocalists consisting of largely metal vocals. I cite this Blabbermouth article:

"There is nothing to be gained from being cynical about albums like this. Clearly created as a very personal labor of love, "Anesthetic" captures the devoted musician and all-round good guy that we know from Lamb oF God exploring other sides of his songwriting and inviting a bunch of friends and idols to chip in with vocal cameos and instrumental contributions. This isn't meant to be some grandiose statement and, given how many tooth-rattling metal tracks there are here, it's no kind of startling revelation either" — Preceding unsigned comment added by WickedKnightAlbel (talk • contribs)

Hi there. The issue is that on Wikipedia, we have to go by what sources say, and just about all of the past proposals have been unsourced, or done by sources that don’t meet Wikipedia’s standards. We need a reliable source that directly calls an album collectively a genre for it to be added to the article. Sergecross73 msg me 22:23, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
