From A Map of All Our Failures (2012). A Map of All Our Failures is the eleventh studio album by English doom metal band My Dying Bride, released on 15 October 2012 via Peaceville Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the nearest rig we use for My Dying Bride's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the neck pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.
