Premier Guitar describes the record as a blend of metal, prog and house, with the guitar work from Tim Henson and Scott LePage still front and centre. No rig rundown or interview for this record was available, so Henson's signature Ibanez into a modeled amp stands in. Set the model to a tight, high-gain voicing on the bridge pickup.
