Notes

Studio recording, 2008. Gear inferred from era, interviews, and genre conventions. No direct studio photo evidence for this specific song, but Lee Malia is consistently documented using an Epiphone Les Paul Custom with EMG pickups into a Peavey 5150 for 'Suicide Season' heavy rhythm tones. No evidence of live/touring substitutions for the original recording.
