From Whoracle (1997). Whoracle is the third studio album by Swedish heavy metal band In Flames, released on 18 November 1997. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Peavey 5150, the rig we use for In Flames' other songs from Whoracle, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in C standard (C F B♭ E♭ G C), two whole steps below standard.
