From City Burials (2020). City Burials is the eleventh 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 nearest rig we use for Katatonia's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the neck pickup.
