From Braindead (2016). Braindead is the third studio album by Finnish metal band Lost Society, released on February 12, 2016. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Lost Society's other songs from Braindead, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
