Notes
Studio recording, 2011 (Dead Throne album). Multiple sources confirm Mesa Triple Rectifier as primary amp for heavy rhythm sections; ESP LTD EC-1000 with EMG 81/60 pickups is visible in era photos and rig rundowns. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the main riff section.

Difficulty
The riff requires fast, aggressive picking with precise palm muting and tight rhythm synchronization, typical of modern metalcore. String skipping and rapid chord changes add to the technical challenge.
