Notes
Studio recording, 2007-2008 (A Sense of Purpose album sessions). Gear inferred from band’s typical studio setup for this era; no direct source confirms exact pedal/amp for 'Alias' solo, but this is the most documented studio rig for In Flames at the time.

Difficulty
The solo requires fast alternate picking, tight palm muting, and precise articulation with high-gain tone. String skipping and expressive bends add to the technical challenge, making it hard for intermediate players.
