Recording notes

From Shogun (2008). Shogun (将軍, Shōgun) is the fourth studio album by American heavy metal band Trivium. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Peavey 5150 II, the rig we use for Trivium's other songs from Shogun, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
