Recording notes

From Berserker (2017). Berserker is the debut studio album by Finnish heavy metal band Beast in Black, released on 3 November 2017. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson Phil Demmel Demmelition King V through an Engl Powerball II, the rig we use for Beast in Black's other songs from Berserker, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch 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.
