From Awakening from Abyss (2017). Awakening from Abyss is the debut studio album by Japanese power metal band Lovebites. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Peavey 6505+, the nearest rig we use for Lovebites' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
