From Otherness (2022). Otherness is the fifth studio album by Canadian post-hardcore band Alexisonfire. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Junior through a Marshall JCM2000 TSL100, the rig we use for Alexisonfire's other songs from Otherness, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the single pickup. Standard tuning.
