From Suicide Season (2008). Suicide Season is the second studio album by British rock band Bring Me the Horizon. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson Pro Series Signature Lee Malia LM-87 through a Peavey 5150, the rig we use for Bring Me the Horizon's other songs from Suicide Season, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.
