The Wolf Is Loose
The 173-BPM gallop that opens Blood Mountain — a tighter, faster cousin of Leviathan's Marshall attack. Bill Kelliher and Brent Hinds tracked it with producer Matt Bayles at Robert Lang Studios and Studio Litho, Seattle, in D standard. The documented Blood Mountain amps are a Laney VH100R alongside a 2-channel Marshall JCM800 — NOT the Diezel VH4, which only entered Hinds' rig years later — boosted with a Chandler Tube Driver into Seymour Duncan-loaded Silverburst Gibsons. Dry, aggressive, and articulate.
