From Overtures of Blasphemy (2018). Overtures of Blasphemy is the twelfth studio album by American death metal band Deicide, released on 14 September 2018 by Century Media Records. The album's personnel list credits Kevin Quirion and Mark English with guitars, with Steve Asheim adding additional guitars. 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 Overtures of Blasphemy, 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.
