From Life Is Killing Me (2003). Their sixth studio album, it was released on 17 June 2003 and was their last for Roadrunner Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig to the one documented for Type O Negative, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in B standard (B E A D F♯ B).
