From Bitter Suites to Succubi (2001). Bitter Suites to Succubi is the third EP by English extreme metal band Cradle of Filth. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the nearest rig we use for Cradle of Filth's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.
