From Damage Done (2002). Damage Done is the sixth studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band Dark Tranquillity, released on 22 July 2002 by Century Media. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through an Engl Powerball (E645), the rig we use for Dark Tranquillity's other songs from Damage Done, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in C♯ standard (C♯ F♯ B E G♯ C♯), three half steps below standard.
