Notes
Studio recording, 1998 (Chaosphere album). Meshuggah used Line 6 POD Pro amp modeling for the album, not real amps. Guitar is the Ibanez M8M 8-string with Lundgren M8 passive pickups. No evidence of pedals or effects other than noise gate in the studio chain.

The riff requires advanced rhythmic precision, fast and tight palm muting, and mastery of Meshuggah's polyrhythmic style, making it very challenging for most guitarists.
