From To Drink from the Night Itself (2018). To Drink from the Night Itself is the sixth studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band At the Gates, released on 18 May 2018 by Century Media Records. The album's personnel list credits Martin Larsson with guitars and Jonas Stålhammar on lead guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Peavey 5150, the rig we use for At the Gates' other songs from To Drink from the Night Itself, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
