From Low Teens (2016). Low Teens is the eighth studio album by American metalcore band Every Time I Die. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Every Time I Die's other songs from Low Teens, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.
