From Gallery of Suicide (1998). Gallery of Suicide is the sixth studio album by American death metal band Cannibal Corpse, released on April 21, 1998, through 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 nearest rig to the one documented for Cannibal Corpse, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in a tuning that is not one of the standard names: A♯ D♯ G♯ C♯ F A♯, low to high.
