From Deicide (1990). Deicide is the debut studio album by American death metal band Deicide, released on June 26, 1990 by R/C Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Dean ML through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Deicide's other songs from Deicide, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
