From Some Kind of Zombie (1997). Some Kind of Zombie is the fourth studio album by Audio Adrenaline, released on 18 November 1997 by ForeFront. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Audio Adrenaline's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
