From Everything Under the Sun (2026). Everything Under the Sun is the eleventh studio album by the Canadian rock band Nickelback, released on 30 October 2026 by Virgin Music Group. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier, the rig we use for Nickelback's other songs from Everything Under the Sun, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
