From Shrine of New Generation Slaves (2013). Shrine of New Generation Slaves is the fifth studio album by Polish progressive rock band Riverside. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Mayones Setius 6 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Riverside's other songs from Shrine of New Generation Slaves, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
