From Cannibal (2020). Cannibal is a studio album by the English metalcore band Bury Tomorrow, released on 3 July 2020 by Music for Nations. The album's personnel list credits Kristan Dawson on lead guitar and Jason Cameron on rhythm guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Bury Tomorrow's other songs from Cannibal, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
