From The Great Mass (2011). The Great Mass is the eighth studio album by Greek death metal band Septicflesh. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Septicflesh's other songs from The Great Mass, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in C standard (C F B♭ E♭ G C), two whole steps below standard.
