From Sanguivore (2023). Sanguivore is the third studio album by English rock band Creeper. 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 Creeper's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
