From Death Cult Armageddon (2003). Death Cult Armageddon is the sixth studio album by Norwegian symphonic black metal band Dimmu Borgir, released on 9 September 2003. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD Viper-1000 through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Dimmu Borgir's other songs from Death Cult Armageddon, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
