From The Last Stand (2016). A heavy, anthemic, mid-tempo metal track with a chunky riff and a melodic lead. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so an ESP LTD H-1007FR through a Kemper Profiler Rack stands in. Use the bridge pickup and set the amp for a tight, high-gain tone. Tuning isn't documented here.
