From Colors II (2021). Colors II is the tenth studio album by the American progressive metal band Between the Buried and Me. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Custom 24 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the nearest rig we use for Between the Buried and Me's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in C♯ standard (C♯ F♯ B E G♯ C♯), three half steps below standard.
