Recording notes

From Weight of the False Self (2020). Weight of the False Self is the eighth studio album by American metalcore band Hatebreed. 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 Weight of the False Self, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.
