Can anyone tell me how to get the chug of this Iced Earth tone from The Dark Saga?

Here is the link. This seems like a Magical Unicorn tone honestly. I'm using a lot of the latest Amp Modeling stuff like Neural DSP products which i Think sounds phenominal. Yet I don't know what kind of production techniques (dual? quad tracking?) Tone shaping (low, mids, highs) or IRs I need to get this amazing crushing tone.
 
Sounds like some Ola Englund tone to me! I've found that chugs depend on playing technique more than anything, instead of playing 2 string power-chords, play 3 strings on chugs. The 3rd note will be the root but an octave up, and you want to make sure you have some high-mids in there to bring it out in the mix. Besides that, I would recommend experimenting with different boosts, and amp heads.
 
Pick hard as f*** hahaha, tone wise try start with some ts9 + rectifier and marshall 1960a, t-75 IRs (marshall v30 if gets too scooped) and work from there
 
Mess around with your pick hand palm position as well as it affects the "bloom" of the chug.
