Notes
Studio recording, 2021 (For Those That Wish To Exist album). No direct evidence of a physical amp; Quad Cortex used for both live and studio tones per band interviews and playthroughs.

The part requires fast, consistent pick playing in a very low tuning, with tight rhythm and articulation to cut through a dense mix. While not virtuosic, it demands stamina, accuracy, and control over aggressive dynamics.
