From Aurora Consurgens (2006). Aurora Consurgens is the sixth studio album by the Brazilian power metal band Angra. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez KIKO100 through a Marshall JCM2000 DSL100, the nearest rig we use for Angra's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
