From Darker Still (2022). Darker Still is the seventh studio album by Australian metalcore band Parkway Drive. 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 rig we use for Parkway Drive's other songs from Darker Still, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
