From Come Clarity (2006). Come Clarity is the eighth studio album by Swedish heavy metal band In Flames, released in February 2006. 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 In Flames' other songs from Come Clarity, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop A♯ (A♯ F A♯ D♯ G C).
