From Vanity/Nemesis (1990). Vanity/Nemesis is the fifth studio album by Swiss heavy metal band Celtic Frost, released on 11 April 1990 through Noise Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Celtic Frost's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
