From Berlin (2015). Berlin is the third studio album by German rock band Kadavar, released on 21 August 2015 by Nuclear Blast. The album's personnel list credits Christoph Lindemann with electric guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Hiwatt DR504 Custom 50, the rig we use for Kadavar's other songs from Berlin, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
