From Beyond the Permafrost (2007). Beyond the Permafrost is the second full-length album by American metal band Skeletonwitch. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, a high-gain heavy-metal pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
