From Zos Kia Cultus (Here and Beyond) (2002). Zos Kia Cultus (Here and Beyond) is the sixth studio album by Polish extreme metal band Behemoth, released on 28 October 2002 by Mystic Production. The album's personnel list credits Nergal on lead, rhythm and acoustic guitars and Havok on lead and rhythm guitar. 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 rig we use for Behemoth's other songs from Zos Kia Cultus (Here and Beyond), stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
