Recording notes

From Under a Funeral Moon (1993). Under a Funeral Moon is the third studio album by Norwegian black metal band Darkthrone. 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 Under a Funeral Moon, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
