From The Laws of Scourge (1991). The Laws of Scourge is the second studio album by Brazilian extreme metal band Sarcófago, released in August 1991 by Cogumelo Records. The album's personnel list credits Fábio Jhasko on lead guitar and Wagner Lamounier on rhythm guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson King V through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Sarcófago's other songs from The Laws of Scourge, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.
