From From Parts Unknown (2014). From Parts Unknown is the seventh studio album by American metalcore band Every Time I Die, released on 1 July 2014 by Epitaph Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Peavey 6505+, the nearest rig we use for Every Time I Die's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
