From Dawn of Victory (2000). Dawn of Victory is the third studio album by the Italian symphonic power metal band Rhapsody, released in 2000. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez S Standard S570AH through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Rhapsody of Fire's other songs from Dawn of Victory, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
