From Angel of Light (2019). Angel of Light is the fifth studio album by the British heavy metal band Angel Witch, released in 2019 on Metal Blade Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Angel Witch's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
