From Easter Is Cancelled (2019). Easter Is Cancelled is the sixth studio album by the British hard rock band the Darkness, released on 4 October 2019 by Canary Dwarf. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall 1959HW Handwired Super Lead, the rig we use for The Darkness' other songs from Easter Is Cancelled, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
