Recording notes

From Hermética (1989). Hermética is the self-titled debut studio album by Argentine thrash metal band Hermética. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson King V through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Hermética's other songs from Hermética, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
