From Dance & Scream (2010). Dance & Scream is the first full-length album by Japanese electronicore band Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas, released on November 24, 2010. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Schecter Hellraiser C-1 through a Bogner Ecstasy 101B, the nearest rig we use for Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
