Recording notes

From Woe to the Vanquished (2017). No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson Pro Series Dinky DK2 through a Peavey 6505+, the nearest rig we use for Warbringer's other songs, 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.
