Mark William Lanegan (born November 25, 1964 in Ellensburg , Washington ) is a singer and songwriter . From 1983 to 2000 he was the front man of Screaming Trees .

Life

While still at Screaming Trees, Mark Lanegan recorded his first solo album, The Winding Sheet, in 1990 , with top-class support from Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselić from Nirvana .

Mark Lanegan was also a guest singer on the Mad Season project, founded on October 16, 1994 from a jam session in the Seattle Crocodile Café , which is a project by the musicians Mike McCready (guitar, Pearl Jam ), Layne Staley (vocals, Alice in Chains ) , Barrett Martin (drums, Screaming Trees) and John "Baker" Saunders (bass, The Walkabouts ). They only recorded one album called Above . Mark Lanegan was one of Layne Staley's best friends at the time.

Another solo album followed in 1994: Whiskey for the Holy Ghost . Lanegan also had support with this work. Involved in this album were members of Dinosaur Jr. , Mudhoney , Tad and Mark Pickerel. In 1998 the album "Scraps at Midnight" followed, followed by the ballad cover album I'll Take Care of You (1999), on which Van Conner from Screaming Trees and Pickerel made guest appearances. After the Screaming Trees disbanded in 2000, Lanegan joined the Queens of the Stone Age in 2001 .

During his time at QotSA , he continued to work on his solo career with the album Field Songs (2001) and the EP Here Comes that Weird Chill (2003), with his subsequent works, including the EP, under the stage name “Mark Lanegan Band ”to pay tribute to the various guest musicians who contributed to his albums.

On August 2, 2004, Lanegan's new long player called Bubblegum was released , hailed by many as his best work to date. In March of the following year, the fourth album by the Queens of the Stone Age came out, on which Lanegan can be heard as a guest singer. Up until this point, Lanegan was part of the live line-up of the Queens, before he retired in April 2005 to devote himself to his solo career and other projects.

Lanegan, whose popularity has increased significantly since Bubblegum , recorded the album "Ballad of the Broken Seas" in early 2006 in collaboration with singer Isobel Campbell , a former member of Belle & Sebastian . The duo released two more albums every two years.

The music magazine “ Intro ” describes Mark Lanegan as follows: “His songs are of depressing beauty, his singing is a whisper. When he talks, it sounds like he's praying. "

In 2003 he started a new project called The Gutter Twins with Greg Dulli ( Afghan Whigs , The Twilight Singers ) , whose album Saturnalia was released in March 2008. Mark Lanegan was a guest musician on the Twilight Singers albums Blackberry Belle and She Loves You , as well as the EP A Stitch in Time .

At the beginning of 2012 Lanegan released another solo album, Blues Funeral , produced by Alain Johannes , who also recorded a number of instruments on it. He called it “Blues funeral” because it was “a little darkly inclined”. Instead of the guitar, as usual, he used an old drum computer and keyboards to compose. The live lineup of the Blues Funeral Tour consists of the four Belgian musicians Aldo Struyf, Steven Janssens, Frederic Lyenn Jacques and Jean-Philippe de Gheest.

In 2013 Lanegan released two new albums. In the spring the work Black Pudding was released , which he brought out together with Duke Garwood, and in the autumn the album Imitations , which - like the I'll Take Care of You , which was released in 1999 - only consists of cover songs and which he did in the fall 2013 went on tour extensively.

Lanegan also released several albums in the following years. At the beginning of 2014, an anthology was published consisting of 20 previously published songs and 12 previously unreleased. In the middle of the year the EP No Bells on Sunday followed , which gave a foretaste of the album Phantom Radio , which was released in autumn . In 2015 a remix album was also released, which contained the mixes of the EP and the album, among others by Moby and UNKLE . Houston was also released in mid-2015 : a completely unknown album that was recorded in 2002.

In August 2018, With Animals, a second collaboration with Duke Garwood appeared. The radio station ByteFM called the album an "apocalyptic bastard of downtempo and blues".
