From Deth Red Sabaoth (2010). Deth Red Sabaoth is the ninth studio album by American heavy metal band Danzig, released on June 22, 2010, through Evilive/The End Records. 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 Danzig's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
