Notes
Studio recording, 2015 album 'Meliora'. Gear inferred from Ghost's studio photos, interviews, and genre/era conventions. No direct source for 'Devil Church' session, but Orange Rockerverb and Gibson SG are confirmed as main studio rig for heavy riff sections on 'Meliora'.

The riff is rhythmically straightforward but demands tight palm muting and precise timing to maintain the song's heavy, percussive feel. No advanced techniques, but requires discipline and control.
