From At the Heart of Winter (1999). At the Heart of Winter is the fifth studio album by Norwegian black metal band Immortal. 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 rig we use for Immortal's other songs from At the Heart of Winter, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
