From Long Live (2015). Long Live is the sixth studio album by American rock band Atreyu. The album was released on September 18, 2015 through Spinefarm Records. 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 Atreyu's other songs from Long Live, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).
