Notes

Studio recording for 'Blood Red Summer' (2003, In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3). Gear inferred from era-specific interviews and forum discussions; no direct studio documentation for this song's riff, but Marshall 1974x and Les Paul are most consistently cited for this album's rhythm tones.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to its tight, percussive rhythm, aggressive picking, and the need to maintain clarity with high-gain fuzz/distortion. Layered parts and palm muting add to the challenge.
