Recording notes

From Dum Spiro Spero (2011). Dum Spiro Spero is the eighth studio album by Japanese heavy metal band Dir En Grey, released on August 2, 2011 in the U.S., and in Japan on August 3. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Dir En Grey's other songs from Dum Spiro Spero, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
