Notes

Studio recording, 2007 (Lupus Dei album). No direct source confirms the exact gear for this song, but ESP E-II Horizon NT-II with EMG pickups and ENGL Fireball 100 are consistently cited as Powerwolf's main studio rig for this era. Settings are estimated based on genre, era, and band’s typical setup.
