Recording notes

From Challenger (2012). Challenger is the third studio album by the American metalcore band Memphis May Fire, released on 26 June 2012 by Rise Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Memphis May Fire's other songs from Challenger, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
