From Symphonies of Sickness (1989). Symphonies of Sickness is the second studio album by English extreme metal band Carcass, released on 4 November 1989 by Earache Records. The album's personnel list credits Bill Steer with guitars. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a B.C. Rich Mockingbird Legacy through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Carcass' other songs from Symphonies of Sickness, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
