Notes

Studio recording, 2015-2016. Guitar and amp confirmed for DOOM soundtrack recording, not live. Axe-Fx II contained all original presets used for BFG Division. No evidence of traditional tube amp or cab miking for the main riff section. All tones processed in-the-box via Axe-Fx II with custom IRs and effects. Guitar is 7-string for extended low range.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate alternate picking, tight palm muting, and control of a 7-string guitar at high speed, demanding advanced rhythm technique and stamina.
