From Metal Commando (2020). Metal Commando is the thirteenth studio album by German heavy metal band Primal Fear. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through an EVH 5150III 100W, the nearest rig we use for Primal Fear's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-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.
