From the album The Shadowthrone (1994). The Shadowthrone is the second studio album by the Norwegian black metal band Satyricon. 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 Satyricon's other songs from The Shadowthrone, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
