Notes
Studio recording, 2003 (album: Arcane Rain Fell). No direct evidence for exact guitar/amp for this song, but ESP LTD EC-1000 with EMG pickups and Peavey 5150 are consistent with Draconian's genre, era, and known member gear. No evidence of live-specific settings.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight palm muting and control at a slow tempo, with heavy strings and down-tuning adding to the challenge. Dynamic shifts between heavy and melodic sections require nuanced playing.
