From Elysium (2011). Elysium is the thirteenth studio album by power metal band Stratovarius, released on 12 January 2011 by Victor Entertainment and Edel AG. The album's personnel list credits Matias Kupiainen with guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez RG1570 Prestige through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Stratovarius' other songs from Elysium, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
