From The Parallax II: Future Sequence (2012). The Parallax II: Future Sequence is the sixth studio album by the American progressive metal band Between the Buried and Me, released on 9 October 2012 by Metal Blade Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Custom 24 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Between the Buried and Me's other songs from The Parallax II: Future Sequence, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
