From Deadweight (2017). Deadweight is the second studio album by American metalcore band Wage War. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Kiesel Vader 6 Headless through an EVH 5150III 50W, the rig we use for Wage War's other songs from Deadweight, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop A♯ (A♯ F A♯ D♯ G C).
