From Forever in Time (1993). Forever in Time is the second studio album by Malaysian rock band, Cromok, released on 15 February 1993 by EMI Music Malaysia. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson King V through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Cromok's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
