Recording notes

From Blood Magick Necromance (2011). Blood Magick Necromance is the ninth studio album by the Austrian blackened death metal band Belphegor. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, a saturated death-metal pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).
