Notes
Studio recording, circa 2001 (Scars album era). Guitar and amp inferred from band/album era and genre; no direct studio photo evidence for 'Black 7' but consistent with SOiL's gear at the time.

The riff requires tight, fast palm muting and precise alternate picking at a high tempo, with syncopated rhythms typical of early 2000s groove metal.
