Recording notes

From Demonocracy (2012). Demonocracy is the third studio album by American death metal band Job for a Cowboy. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson Pro Series Soloist SLA3 through a Peavey 6505+, the nearest rig we use for Job for a Cowboy's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.
