Notes

Studio recording, 1997 album 'Sehnsucht'; Richard Z. Kruspe used the ESP RZK-1 loaded with Fishman Fluence Modern pickups and a Mesa/Boogie Mark IIC+ for the main riff. No evidence of live/touring gear or alternate amps for this specific recording.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically straightforward but requires tight, aggressive palm muting and precise timing to achieve the percussive, machine-like feel characteristic of Rammstein's style.
