Notes

Studio recording, 2014 album 'Heroes'. No direct source confirms exact gear for this song, but Sabaton's guitarists (Chris Rörland, Thobbe Englund) are documented using ESP Eclipse guitars with EMG pickups and Peavey 6505+ amps for rhythm tones on this album and in live settings. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this specific riff section.
