From El'fiyskaya Rukopis' (2004). El'fiyskaya Rukopis' (The Elven Manuscript) is a metal opera and concept album by Epidemia, released on 13 February 2004 and produced by Aria's guitarist Vladimir Holstinin. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall JCM800 2203, a classic heavy-metal pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
