Recording notes

From I, the Mask (2019). I, the Mask is the thirteenth studio album by Swedish heavy metal band In Flames, released on 1 March 2019. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through an EVH 5150III 100W, the rig we use for In Flames' other songs from I, the Mask, 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).
