From Terra Incognita (2001). Terra Incognita is the debut studio album by French heavy metal band Gojira. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 2 Joe Duplantier Signature through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Gojira's other songs from Terra Incognita, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.
