Notes
Studio recording, 2015-2016. Gear confirmed for this era and band, but no explicit studio session photo for this song. Kraken amp confirmed as main amp for heavy Dorje riffs. Guitar model inferred from artist's own brand and era. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the main riff section.

The riff requires advanced rhythmic precision, tight palm muting, and fast alternate picking, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
