From Zunge (2023). Zunge (German for "tongue") is the debut solo studio album by Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann, released independently on 3 November 2023. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, a high-gain heavy-metal pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
