From Ritual (2011). Ritual is the fifth studio album by American melodic death metal band the Black Dahlia Murder. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for The Black Dahlia Murder's other songs from Ritual, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.
