From Dark Medieval Times (1993). Dark Medieval Times is the debut studio album by Norwegian black metal band Satyricon. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Horizon NT-II through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Satyricon's other songs from Dark Medieval Times, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
