From Hatebreed (2009). Hatebreed is the fifth studio album by American metalcore band Hatebreed, released on 29 September 2009 by E1 Music. The album's personnel list credits Wayne Lozinak on lead guitar and Frank Novinec on rhythm guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Hatebreed's other songs from Hatebreed, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.
