From A New Era of Corruption (2010). A New Era of Corruption is the third studio album by American deathcore band Whitechapel, released on 8 June 2010 by Metal Blade. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Whitechapel's other songs from A New Era of Corruption, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.
