Notes

Studio recording, 2017 (The Sin and the Sentence album). Rhythm guitars for 'Beyond Oblivion' riff section tracked with Epiphone Les Paul Custom into Peavey Triple XXX II, boosted with Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer and ISP Decimator, through Mesa/Boogie cabinet. No evidence of additional effects or modulation for rhythm/riff section. Settings estimated based on typical Peavey Triple XXX II metal rhythm tones and genre/era.
