Notes
Studio recording, 2013. Gear inferred from Equipboard's listing of Ghost's studio setup for the 'Infestissumam' era, which matches the release year of 'If You Have Ghosts'. No direct confirmation for this exact song, but this is the most probable setup for the riff section based on available evidence.
