From The Great War (2019). The Great War is the ninth studio album by the Swedish power metal band Sabaton. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Peavey 5150, the rig we use for Sabaton's other songs from The Great War, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
