From Lightning in a Bottle (2025). Lightning in a Bottle is the ninth studio album by American doom metal band Pentagram, released on January 31, 2025 by Heavy Psych Sounds. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Pentagram's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.
