From Poison the Parish (2017). Poison the Parish is the seventh studio album by South African rock band Seether. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Custom 24 through a Diezel VH4, the rig we use for Seether's other songs from Poison the Parish, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).
