From The Eye of Every Storm (2004). The Eye of Every Storm is the eighth studio album by American post-metal band Neurosis, released on 28 June 2004 by Relapse Records and Neurot Recordings. The album's personnel list credits Scott Kelly and Steve Von Till with guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the nearest rig we use for Neurosis' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
