From Chaos A.D. (1993). A heavy, mid-tempo groove-metal track with thick, chugging riffs. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Marshall JCM800 2203 stands in. Use the bridge pickup and set the amp for a tight, high-gain tone. Tuning isn't documented here.
