Recording notes

From The Cold Sun (2017). The Cold Sun is the debut studio album by British heavy metal band Loathe. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez RG752AHM Prestige 7-String through a Peavey 6505+, the nearest rig we use for Loathe's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
