Guitars used by Ash Gray on Samsara
Jackson Phil Demmel Signature King V
Avg price: $2,400.00
For Samsara I used a Jackson Demmel V 6 string equipped with Seymour Duncan JB and 59 pickups. Ran the guitars through various Blackstar amps such as HT Metal & Artisan. Pedals we tried a large amount, probably too many to remember, however Maxon OD808 and TC Sentry was used as a finishing touch to the HT Metal Distortion, Reverb used for my set up was a Digitech Polara, Chorus, MXR analog, and DL4 Line 6 Delay. I’m fairly sure the fuzz channel on Dukkha was through a classic Big Muff as well.
Writing this song was a way for us to express the groove elements Venom Prison is capable of whilst maintaining the foundations of what a Venom Prison song holds which is aggression. The balance isn’t always easy but very pleased with the outcome and I feel from this record has really started to shape the sound of Venom Prison

Guitars used by Ben Thomas (Venom Prison) on Samsara
Avg price: $1,257.49
For the recording of Samsara, I was over excited to use my Jackson RR pro series Flying V! My first guitar with a Floyd Rose! Could you tell by the number of dive bombs on the album? Ash and I both used mainly the Blackstar HT metal and the artisan for cleans. I also used my Charvel San Dimas for a few leads and cleans that needed that extra jangly strat sound. Pedals, we used so many. But the stars of the show for me where the walrus Julia chorus and my boss DD500
