From Wanderer (2016). Wanderer is the eighth studio album by German melodic death metal band Heaven Shall Burn, released on 16 September 2016 through Century Media Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD MH-1000 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the nearest rig we use for Heaven Shall Burn's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).

The guitar on "Bring the War Home" (released 2016) isn't documented; the ESP LTD MH-1000 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop C (C G C F A D), so retune before you dial anything in.

Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6, Mid 4.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 8.5. 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 "Bring the War Home" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Bring the War Home" 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.
