From Majestic (2005). Majestic is the eighth full-length studio album from the German power metal band Gamma Ray, released on 11 October 2005 by Sanctuary Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson 1958 Korina Flying V Reissue through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Gamma Ray's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

The guitar on "Blood Religion" (released 2005) isn't documented; the Gibson 1958 Korina Flying V Reissue above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

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