From Raza Odiada (1995). Raza Odiada (English: Hated Race) is the second album by Brujeria. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Explorer through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Brujeria's other songs from Raza Odiada, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).
