Notes
Studio recording for 'Subjected to a Beating' (2012, Descend Into Depravity era). Guitar and amp inferred from era and John Gallagher's known studio rig for this album. No direct evidence of pedals or additional effects for the riff section. Cabinet likely Mesa/Boogie 4x12. No evidence of live/touring substitutions.
