From Better Off Dead (1990). Better Off Dead is the fourth studio album by German thrash metal band Sodom, released on 1 October 1990 by Steamhammer/SPV. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson King V through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Sodom's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
