From This Is How the Wind Shifts (2013). This Is How the Wind Shifts is the seventh studio album by the Canadian post-hardcore band Silverstein, released on February 5, 2013, through Hopeless Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Studio through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Silverstein's other songs from This Is How the Wind Shifts, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
