The album's personnel list credits Daniel Antonsson and Ola Frenning on lead and rhythm guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Soilwork's other songs from Sworn to a Great Divide, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
