Recording notes

From Death Row (1994). Death Row is the tenth studio album by German heavy metal band Accept, released in 1994. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Flying V through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Accept's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
