From Yesterwynde (2024). Yesterwynde is the tenth studio album by the Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish, released on 20 September 2024 by Nuclear Blast. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Horizon NT-II through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Nightwish's other songs from Yesterwynde, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
