From Eternal Kingdom (2008). Eternal Kingdom is the fifth studio album by Swedish post-metal band Cult of Luna. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through an Orange Rockerverb 100 MkIII, the rig we use for Cult of Luna's other songs from Eternal Kingdom, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop B (B F♯ B E G♯ C♯).
Common Questions About the "Eternal Kingdom" Tone
What guitar did Cult of Luna use on "Eternal Kingdom"?
The guitar on "Eternal Kingdom" (released 2008) isn't documented; the Gibson SG Standard above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop B (B F♯ B E G♯ C♯), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Eternal Kingdom" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6.5, Mid 5, Treble 5.5, Presence 5, Volume 7. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "Eternal Kingdom" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Eternal Kingdom" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
