Recording notes

From Torture (2012). Torture is the twelfth studio album by American death metal band Cannibal Corpse, released on March 13, 2012 by Metal Blade Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a B.C. Rich Ironbird through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Cannibal Corpse's other songs from Torture, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.
