Notes

Studio recording, 2015, Meliora album. Guitarist for Ghost (A Nameless Ghoul) is known to use the Gibson RD Artist for the main riff sections of 'Spirit'. Marshall JVM410H is the most documented amp for this era and album. No direct studio session notes found, but this is the consensus from multiple Ghost gear rundowns for Meliora-era studio work.
