From Temple of Shadows (2004). A fast, melodic power-metal track from Temple of Shadows, with a high-gain, articulate guitar sound for the riffs and leads. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so Ibanez KIKO100 through Marshall JCM2000 DSL100 stands in. Set the amp at a high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
