Notes

Studio recording, 2021 (Take Me Back to Eden sessions). Guitarist IV is confirmed to use the Jackson SLAT8 MS 8-string with EMG 909s for Sleep Token's heaviest material. Neural DSP Archetype Gojira plugin is widely believed to be used for the album, with Bogner Überschall-style amp models and Mesa/Orange cab IRs. Settings are estimated based on genre, amp model, and community presets. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this specific riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced palm muting, tight rhythm control, and familiarity with 8-string guitar technique, including wide stretches and fast, syncopated picking patterns typical of modern djent/metal.
