From Torn Arteries (2021). Torn Arteries is the seventh studio album by English extreme metal band Carcass. 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 Torn Arteries, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
