From Pentagram (1994). Pentagram is the debut studio album by Norwegian black metal band Gorgoroth, released in September 1994 by Embassy Productions. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Horizon NT-II through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Gorgoroth's other songs from Pentagram, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
