From Evolution (2018). A mid-tempo, melodic song from Evolution, with clean, sustained guitar passages and heavier overdriven choruses. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Schecter Hellraiser C-1 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier stands in. Set the amp at a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
