Notes

Studio recording, 2003. Both Mark Morton and Willie Adler used Mesa/Boogie Mark IV amps for 'As the Palaces Burn'. Willie Adler is widely reported to have used an ESP Eclipse with EMG 81 pickups for rhythm/riff sections. No evidence of live/touring gear or alternate guitars for this specific song/section.

Difficulty

The riff section of 'Blood Junkie' requires advanced right-hand technique for fast, tight palm-muted chugs, precise alternate picking, and stamina to maintain aggressive rhythm at high speed.
