From Vessels (2016). Vessels is the fourth studio album by Australian melodic death metal band, Be'lakor, released on 24 June 2016. 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. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.
