From Day of Mourning (2009). Day of Mourning is the fourth studio album by Canadian deathcore band Despised Icon, released on 22 September 2009 by Century Media Records. The album's personnel list credits Eric Jarrin and Ben Landreville with guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, a common rig for this kind of sound, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.
