From Finding God Before God Finds Me (2019). Finding God Before God Finds Me is the second studio album by American heavy metal band Bad Omens, released on August 2, 2019 through Sumerian Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson Pro Plus Series Dinky Modern HT7 through a Neural DSP Quad Cortex, the rig we use for Bad Omens' other songs from Finding God Before God Finds Me, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
