From Stone's Reach (2009). Stone's Reach is the second studio album by Australian melodic death metal band, Be'lakor, released in 2009. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the nearest rig we use for Be'lakor's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
