From The Fathomless Mastery (2008). The Fathomless Mastery is the third full-length album by Swedish death metal band Bloodbath, released on 6 October 2008 by Peaceville Records. The album's personnel list credits Per Eriksson on lead guitar and Anders Nyström on rhythm guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the nearest rig we use for Bloodbath's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.
