From Carnal (2024). Carnal is the seventh studio album by the American rock band Nothing More, released on 28 June 2024 by Better Noise Music. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Nothing More's other songs from Carnal, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
