From Legion (1992). Legion is the second studio album by American death metal band Deicide, released on June 9, 1992, by R/C Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Dean ML through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Deicide's other songs from Legion, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
