From Isolate and Medicate (2014). Isolate and Medicate is the sixth 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 Isolate and Medicate, 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).
