From Sound of White Noise (1993). Sound of White Noise is the sixth studio album by American heavy metal band Anthrax, released on May 25, 1993, by Elektra Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson Pro Series Rhoads RRT-3 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Anthrax's other songs from Sound of White Noise, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
