Notes
Studio recording, 2010; gear inferred from Ghost's known studio rig for 'Opus Eponymous' and period photos/interviews. No direct source confirms pedal or amp settings for the 'Ritual' solo, but this is the most widely documented setup for the album's heavy sections.

Difficulty
The solo requires intermediate lead technique, including expressive bends, vibrato, and control of sustained notes, as well as timing with delay repeats for a smooth, singing lead sound.
