Recording notes

From One with the Underdogs (2004). One with the Underdogs is a 2004 studio album by Terror. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through an EVH 5150III 100W, the rig we use for Terror's other songs from One with the Underdogs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.
