From Extinct (2015). Extinct is the tenth studio album by Portuguese gothic metal band Moonspell, released on 5 March 2015 in several versions with a different cover for each (jewel case, limited deluxe box, mediabook, gatefold LP). No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the nearest rig we use for Moonspell's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
