From Storm of the Light's Bane (1995). Their second album, recorded 17-30 March 1995 at Hellspawn/Unisound and released by Nuclear Blast on 17 November 1995; the first with guitarist Johan Norman. The album's title track in all but name. 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 nearest rig to the one Dissection is documented with, stands in. Set the amp to a driven crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
