From Absolute Elsewhere (2024). Absolute Elsewhere is a studio album by Blood Incantation. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a B.C. Rich Ironbird through a Peavey 5150, the rig we use for Blood Incantation's other songs from Absolute Elsewhere, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).
