Recording notes

From Gateways to Annihilation (2000). Gateways to Annihilation is the sixth studio album by American death metal band Morbid Angel, released on October 17, 2000 by Earache Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a B.C. Rich Ironbird through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Morbid Angel's other songs from Gateways to Annihilation, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
