From Rise of the Tyrant (2007). Their seventh studio album, produced by Fredrik Nordström, it was released on 24 September 2007 via Century Media. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Peavey 6505+, the nearest rig to the one documented for Arch Enemy, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it two whole steps down (C standard).
