From Angelus Exuro pro Eternus (2009). Angelus Exuro pro Eternus (grammatically incorrect Latin intended to mean "Angels Burned for Eternity") is the fifth studio album by Swedish black metal band Dark Funeral. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD Arrow-1000 through an EVH 5150III 100W, the rig we use for Dark Funeral's other songs from Angelus Exuro pro Eternus, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
