Notes

Studio recording, 1996 (The Secrets of the Black Arts album). No direct studio documentation found for this specific solo, but evidence from genre, era, and band interviews points to Jackson guitars with EMG pickups and Marshall JCM900 amps. Boss HM-2 pedal is a genre staple and extremely likely for the Swedish death/black metal sound.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced picking speed, tight palm muting, and control over note clarity in a dense, high-gain mix, making it challenging for most guitarists.
