From Antichrist Superstar (1996). A mid-tempo industrial-metal track built on thick, distorted rhythm guitar. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier stands in. Set the amp high-gain and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
