From Victorious (2019). Victorious is the tenth studio album by American Christian rock band Skillet, released on 2 August 2019 by Atlantic. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Skillet's other songs from Victorious, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "This Is the Kingdom" Tone

The guitar on "This Is the Kingdom" (released 2019) isn't documented; the ESP LTD EC-1000 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 6, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6.5, 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 "This Is the Kingdom" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "This Is the Kingdom" 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.
