From For all tid (1995). For all tid (Norwegian: "For All Time") is the debut studio album by Norwegian symphonic black metal band Dimmu Borgir. 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 For all tid, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
