From Landfall (2026). A heavy modern metalcore track with tight, down-tuned, palm-muted riffs. Equipboard lists Seth Blake with EMG-loaded guitars, a Fender Stratocaster HSS and a Tube Screamer, and Cody Quistad with a Kemper Profiler Rack, but no source gives the amps or tuning for this record. So a Jackson Pro Plus Series Dinky DK Modern HT6 into an EVH 5150III 50W stands in. Set the gain high with a tight low end on the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
