From Transit of Venus (2012). A heavy, dark, mid-tempo rock song with thick, low guitars. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Studio through a Diezel VH4 stands in. Use the bridge pickup and set the amp for a tight, high-gain tone. Tuning isn't documented here.
