From Schizophrenia (1987). Schizophrenia is the second studio album by Brazilian heavy metal band Sepultura, released on October 30, 1987 by Cogumelo Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson King V through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Sepultura's other songs from Schizophrenia, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
