Recording notes

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 Peavey 5150 with ISP Technologies Decimator II Noise Reduction, the nearest rig to the one documented for Bring Me the Horizon, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in C Standard (C F B♭ E♭ G C).
