From Preachers of the Night (2013). Preachers of the Night is the fifth studio album by German power metal band Powerwolf, released on 19 July 2013 by Napalm Records. The album's personnel list credits Matthew Greywolf on lead and rhythm guitar and Charles Greywolf on rhythm guitar. 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 Preachers of the Night, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
