From Reinkaos (2006). Reinkaos is the third and final studio album by Swedish extreme metal band Dissection. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Horizon NT-II through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Dissection's other songs from Reinkaos, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.

Can I play "Nexion 218" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Nexion 218" 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.
