Best Answer

A guillatine is (or was) a sharp sheet of metal suspended in a wooden frame that would cut the heads off of its victims. The victim's head would be placed in such a way under the guillatine's blade that it would make the cut at the middle of the neck. The guillatine's blade would be triggered to fall by the removal of a pin via a long rope.

What was Escape the fates last song?

Escape the Fate has a new record out with their new singer Craig Mabbitt (former singer of Blessthefall) called This War is Ours. It fetures the singles "The Flood", "Something", and "10 Miles Wide". it also has other songs that aren't singles yet but are really good such as This War Is Ours (the Guillatine Pt. 2) and Ashley. It is a great album from an amazing band. I love escape the Fate. ;D
