From Noregs vaapen (2011). Noregs vaapen is the fifth studio album by Norwegian black metal band Taake, released on 19 September 2011 by Karisma Records. The album's personnel list credits Hoest with guitars. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Taake's other songs from Noregs vaapen, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
