From Tyranny (2014). A sprawling, gritty experimental rock track with raw, distorted guitars. No source documents the guitar or amp on this track, so a Fender Player Telecaster into a Fender Hot Rod DeVille 410 IV stands in. Set a light-to-medium crunch on the bridge pickup and dig in harder for the louder sections. Tuning isn't documented here.
