From Thy Mighty Contract (1993). Thy Mighty Contract is the debut studio album by Greek extreme metal band Rotting Christ, released in 1993 on Osmose Productions. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Rotting Christ's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
