Recording notes

From The Arockalypse (2006). The Arockalypse is the third studio album by the Finnish rock band Lordi, released on 3 March 2006 by Sony BMG and Drakkar Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Schecter Hellraiser C-1 through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Lordi's other songs from The Arockalypse, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
