From Remember That You Will Die (2022). Remember That You Will Die is the fourth studio album by American rock band Polyphia, released on 28 October 2022 by Rise Records. The album's personnel list credits Tim Henson and Scott LePage with guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Custom 24 through a Fractal Audio Axe-FX III, the rig we use for Polyphia's other songs from Remember That You Will Die, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
