Recording notes

From Heartwork (1993). A melodic death-metal track with tight, crunchy riffs and sharp harmonised leads. Nothing published ties a rig to this song, so a B.C. Rich Mockingbird Legacy into a Marshall JCM800 2203 stands in. Set the gain high with a tight low end on the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
