Notes

Studio recording, 2002-2003. No direct source confirms the exact guitar/amp for this song, but period interviews and genre conventions strongly indicate Schecter C-1 Blackjack with Seymour Duncan pickups into a Peavey 5150 for the heavy rhythm tone. No evidence of live rig or alternate gear for the studio recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate alternate picking and tight palm muting at a high tempo, with complex rhythm changes and precise articulation to maintain clarity in a high-gain setting.
