From Vovin (1998). Vovin (in Enochian VOVIN, VOVINA means dragon) is the seventh studio album by Swedish symphonic metal band Therion, released on 4 May 1998 by Nuclear Blast. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Therion's other songs from Vovin, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
