Recording notes

From Goremageddon: The Saw and the Carnage Done (2003). Goremageddon: The Saw and the Carnage Done is the third studio album by Belgian death metal band Aborted. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the nearest rig we use for Aborted's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.
