From DCLXVI: To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth (1997). DCLXVI: To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth is the fourth album by the Swedish metal band Entombed, released in 1997. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Peavey Bandit 112, the rig we use for Entombed's other songs from DCLXVI: To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in C standard (C F B♭ E♭ G C), two whole steps below standard.
