From A Death-Grip on Yesterday (2006). A Death-Grip on Yesterday is the third studio album by American rock band Atreyu. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EX-351 through a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier, the rig we use for Atreyu's other songs from A Death-Grip on Yesterday, 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).
