From After the Storm (2026). A heavy, stomping track from the 2026 After the Storm EP, with tight, high-gain rhythm guitar. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier stands in. Set the amp at a high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
