Recording notes

From ...And Death Said Live (2012). ...And Death Said Live is the fourth studio album by Finnish melodic death metal band Mors Principium Est. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Horizon NT-II through a Peavey 6505+, the nearest rig we use for Mors Principium Est's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
