Bridge pickup advice for mahogany guitar

Hi everybody,
I need your advice please.
Which bridge PU would guys you use in a mahogany guitar (either ESP Eclipse or ESP Viper) to get a similar rhythm sound like on the latest In Flames record (A sense of purpose)?
In Flames are known for using EMGs but that doesn’t necessarily mean that a MM is the best choice. Also no one knows which PUs they really used in the studio.
I was thinking C-pig would fit the bill but maybe that’s a bit too much?
Here are a few clips to give you an idea

I use the Miracle Man in my Gothic Explorer and it's pretty damn close to the In Flames tone

Thanks guys. So you think a C-Pig wouldn't work?

Not sure 'bout the C-Pig, but C-Bomb would be definitely be an option.
Got on in my ESP FX (mahogany body&neck) and it sure delivers the low-middy thickness that defines the Göteborg sound.

Hands down Miracle Man.
It would also work great with downtuning.

I think the suggestions are more than clear.

Had a few emails w/Tim about my neck thru Mahogany bodied/neck custom V and he recommended the matched Painkiller set. I told him I play everything from NWOBHM in a cover band to Modern Extreme Death/Thrash. He was real thorough asking about my amps, speakers, etc to match the right pick up for me. I would maybe contact him as well. For what it is worth, Nicholas from
www.axepalace.com
recommended the same set.
