From Blessed Are the Sick (1991). Blessed Are the Sick is the second studio album by American death metal band Morbid Angel, released on May 22, 1991 through Earache Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Dean ML through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Morbid Angel's other songs from Blessed Are the Sick, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.

Can I play "Unholy Blasphemies" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Unholy Blasphemies" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
