From Nocturnal (2007). Their third album, produced by Jason Suecof and the band at Trax East in South River, New Jersey in May and June 2007, and the last with guitarist John Kempainen. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Peavey 6505+, the nearest rig to the one The Black Dahlia Murder is documented with, stands in. Set the amp to a high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it two whole steps down (C standard).
