From Cryptopsy (2012). Cryptopsy is the seventh studio album by Canadian technical death metal band Cryptopsy. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Peavey 5150, the nearest rig we use for Cryptopsy's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.
