From Weapons of Tomorrow (2020). Weapons of Tomorrow is the sixth studio album by the American thrash metal band Warbringer. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson Pro Series Dinky DK2 through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Warbringer's other songs from Weapons of Tomorrow, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
