From Tales from the Kingdom of Fife (2013). Tales from the Kingdom of Fife is the debut studio album by the British power metal band Gloryhammer. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez DTT700 Destroyer through a Marshall JVM410H, the nearest rig we use for Gloryhammer's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
