From Amok (1995). Amok is the third album by the Finnish metal band Sentenced, released through Century Media in 1995. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Sentenced's other songs from Amok, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
