From The Cold White Light (2002). The Cold White Light is an album by the Finnish metal band Sentenced, released in May 2002 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 The Cold White Light, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
