Notes

Studio recording, 1994. Gear inferred from era, genre, and typical Swedish black/death metal setups. No direct source confirms exact amp or pickup for 'Black Horizons', but ESP Horizon with EMG 81 and Peavey 5150/6505 are highly probable based on contemporaneous Swedish metal bands and Dissection's known gear for 'The Somberlain' era.
