From Thrice Woven (2017). Thrice Woven is the sixth studio album by American black metal band Wolves in the Throne Room. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Wolves in the Throne Room's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
