From An Ocean Between Us (2007). Their fourth studio album, produced by Adam Dutkiewicz and the band, it was released on 21 August 2007 by Metal Blade Records. 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 As I Lay Dying, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it a whole step down (D standard).
