Recording notes

From No Place for Me (2026). No Place for Me is the eighth studio album by the American metalcore band Miss May I. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Schecter Hellraiser C-1 through a Peavey 6505+, the nearest rig we use for Miss May I's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.
