From The Stench of Redemption (2006). The Stench of Redemption is the eighth studio album by Florida death metal band Deicide. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Dean ML through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the nearest rig we use for Deicide's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
