From Into Glory Ride (1983). Into Glory Ride is the second studio album by American heavy metal band Manowar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Flying V through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Manowar's other songs from Into Glory Ride, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
