From Storm of the Light's Bane (1995). Storm of the Light's Bane is the second studio album by Swedish black metal band Dissection, released on 17 November 1995 by Nuclear Blast Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Horizon NT-II through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Dissection's other songs from Storm of the Light's Bane, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
