From Reinkaos (2006). Reinkaos is the third and final studio album by Swedish extreme metal band Dissection. The album version runs 3:59. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Horizon NT-II through Marshall JCM800 2203 with Ibanez Tube Screamer TS-9, the nearest rig to the one documented for Dissection, stands in. Set the amp to a driven crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D Standard (D G C F A D).
