From Tonight's Decision (1999). Tonight's Decision is the fourth studio album by Swedish rock band Katatonia, released in 1999 by Peaceville Records. 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 Tonight's Decision, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the neck pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
