From The Sacrament of Sin (2018). A heavy, mid-tempo power-metal song with thick, saturated riffs under organ and choir. Equipboard lists ESP LTD guitars and an ENGL Powerball head for Matthew Greywolf, and says he played a custom Framus WH 1 Powerwolf model at Wacken 2017, but it is a community-built page and not dated to this record. So an ESP E-II Horizon NT-II into an Engl Powerball (E645) stands in. Set a medium-high crunch on the bridge pickup and keep the low end tight. Tuning isn't documented here.
