Recording notes

From Thelema.6 (2000). Thelema.6 is the fifth studio album by Polish extreme metal band Behemoth. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Horizon NT-II through a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier, the nearest rig we use for Behemoth's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.
