Recording notes

From Old Star (2019). Old Star is the 17th studio album by the Norwegian black metal band Darkthrone, released on 31 May 2019, by Peaceville Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Darkthrone's other songs from Old Star, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
