From Cleansing (1994). Cleansing is the fourth album by the American heavy metal band Prong, released on January 25, 1994, by Epic Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Prong's other songs from Cleansing, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).
