From Call of the Wild (2021). Call of the Wild is the eighth studio album by German power metal band Powerwolf. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Horizon NT-II through an Engl Fireball 100, the rig we use for Powerwolf's other songs from Call of the Wild, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
