From Metallum Nostrum (2019). Metallum Nostrum is a cover album by German power metal band Powerwolf, originally released on 17 July 2015 as a bonus disc to Blessed & Possessed. 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 nearest rig we use for Powerwolf's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

The guitar on "Power and Glory" (released 2019) isn't documented; the ESP E-II Horizon NT-II above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 7. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "Power and Glory" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Power and Glory" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
