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 rig we use for Cannibal Corpse's other songs from Gallery of Suicide, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
