From Arrivals & Departures (2007). Arrivals & Departures is the third studio album by the Canadian post-hardcore band Silverstein. 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 Arrivals & Departures, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
