From Under the Sign of Hell (1997). Under the Sign of Hell is the third studio album by Norwegian black metal band Gorgoroth. 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 nearest rig we use for Gorgoroth's other songs, 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.
