Notes
Studio recording, 2012. Gear inferred from Equipboard and known Sabaton studio setups for the 'Carolus Rex' album. No direct evidence of pedals or alternate guitars for the solo section; ESP LTD H-1007FR with EMG 81-7 bridge pickup is most likely for the heavy solo tone.

The solo requires solid alternate picking technique, accurate palm muting for clarity, and some string skipping, but does not reach extreme shred or sweep picking complexity.
