Notes & Caveats
- Amp settings are estimated based on genre and era, as exact studio settings are not publicly documented.
- Guitar and pickup information is inferred from common gear used by the band during the recording period.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The tone on 'Slaughter of the Soul' is characteristic of 90s melodic death metal with high gain for aggression, a tight low end, slightly scooped mids for clarity, and bright treble to cut through the mix. Reverb is minimal to maintain a dry, punchy sound.
