From Evolution (2018). Evolution is the seventh studio album by American heavy metal band Disturbed, released on 19 October 2018 by Reprise Records. The album's personnel list credits Dan Donegan with guitars. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Schecter Hellraiser C-1 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Disturbed's other songs from Evolution, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
