Recording notes

From Nightmares Made Flesh (2004). Nightmares Made Flesh is the second album by Swedish death metal band Bloodbath, released on 27 September 2004 by Century Media Records. The album's personnel list credits Anders Nyström, Dan Swanö and Jonas Renkse with guitar and Simon Solomon with lead 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 rig we use for Bloodbath's other songs from Nightmares Made Flesh, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.

The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
