From Pandemonium (2010). Pandemonium is the twelfth studio album by Danish hard rock/heavy metal band Pretty Maids, released on 14 May 2010 by Frontiers. 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 Pretty Maids' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
