Studio recording, 2003 (Figure Number Five album). No direct evidence for exact guitar/amp in this song, but Soilwork's guitarists in this era (Peter Wichers, Ola Frenning) were known to use Ibanez 7-strings and Peavey 5150s for rhythm tracks. No evidence of live rig or alternate gear for this specific recording.
