From In the Court of the Dragon (2021). In the Court of the Dragon is the tenth studio album by American heavy metal band Trivium. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through an EVH 5150III 100W, the rig we use for Trivium's other songs from In the Court of the Dragon, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
