From Crimson (2000). Crimson is the sixth album by the Finnish metal band Sentenced, released in January 2000 on Century Media. 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 Crimson, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.
Common Questions About the "Dead Moon Rising" Tone
What guitar did Sentenced use on "Dead Moon Rising"?
The guitar on "Dead Moon Rising" (released 2000) isn't documented; the ESP LTD EC-1000 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in D Standard (D G C F A D), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Dead Moon Rising" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 6.5. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "Dead Moon Rising" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Dead Moon Rising" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
