From Ghostlight (2022). Ghostlight is the ninth studio album by Finnish alternative rock band Poets of the Fall, released on 29 April 2022 by Insomniac. The album's personnel list credits Olli Tukiainen on lead guitar and Jaska Mäkinen on rhythm guitar. 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 Poets of the Fall's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.
