From Manslaughter (2014). Manslaughter is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Body Count. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Body Count's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
