Recording notes

From The Fallout (2012). The Fallout is the debut studio album by American metalcore band Crown the Empire. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Schecter Damien Elite-6 through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Crown the Empire's other songs from The Fallout, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop B (B F♯ B E G♯ C♯).
