From Space 1992: Rise of the Chaos Wizards (2015). Space 1992: Rise of the Chaos Wizards is the second studio album by British power metal band Gloryhammer, released on 25 September 2015 by Napalm Records. The album's personnel list credits Paul Templing with guitars. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez DTT700 Destroyer through a Marshall JVM410H, the rig we use for Gloryhammer's other songs from Space 1992: Rise of the Chaos Wizards, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.
