From Vengeance Falls (2013). Vengeance Falls is the sixth studio album by American heavy metal band Trivium, released on October 10, 2013 by Roadrunner. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Epiphone Les Paul Custom through an EVH 5150III 100W, the rig we use for Trivium's other songs from Vengeance Falls, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
