Recording notes

From Bringer of Pain (2017). Bringer of Pain is the fourth full-length album by the Finnish heavy metal band Battle Beast, released on 17 February 2017. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Marshall JVM410H, the rig we use for Battle Beast's other songs from Bringer of Pain, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
