From The Dream Calls for Blood (2013). The Dream Calls for Blood is the seventh studio album by American thrash metal band Death Angel. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson USA Select Randy Rhoads RR1 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Death Angel's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
