From Osculum Obscenum (1993). Osculum Obscenum is the second studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band Hypocrisy, released in 1993. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Horizon NT-II through a Peavey 5150, the nearest rig we use for Hypocrisy's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
