From Vessels (2016). Vessels is a studio album by the Australian melodic death metal band Be'lakor, released on 24 June 2016 by Napalm Records. 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 rig we use for Be'lakor's other songs from Vessels, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

The guitar on "Grasping Light" (released 2016) isn't documented; the ESP E-II Eclipse above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 6, Mid 5, Treble 5, Presence 5, Volume 8. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "Grasping Light" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Grasping Light" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. 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.
