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 via Century Media. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Peavey 5150, the nearest rig to the one documented for At the Gates, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in a tuning that is not one of the standard names: B E A D F♯ B, low to high.
