From Confederacy of Ruined Lives (2000). Confederacy of Ruined Lives is the fourth studio album by sludge metal band Eyehategod, released on September 19, 2000. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through an Orange OR120, the rig we use for Eyehategod's other songs from Confederacy of Ruined Lives, 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.
