From Dance of December Souls (1993). Dance of December Souls is the debut studio album by Swedish heavy metal band Katatonia. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Horizon NT-II through a Peavey 5150, the rig we use for Katatonia's other songs from Dance of December Souls, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
