From Non Serviam (1994). Non Serviam is the second full-length album by Greek extreme metal band Rotting Christ, released in 1994. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Rotting Christ's other songs from Non Serviam, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
