From Profane Prayer (2024). Profane Prayer is a studio album by Suicidal Angels. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson Pro Series Rhoads RRT-3 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Suicidal Angels' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
