Studio recording, not live; used on the original 'Assdrop' recording (late 1990s). No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section. All sources confirm Mark IV for studio work.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and precise rhythm in a down-tuned setting, demanding good right-hand control and muting technique. The groove and syncopation add complexity beyond basic metal chugging.
