Notes

Studio recording, 2006 (A Death-Grip on Yesterday). Gear inferred from band member interviews and live rig documentation from the era. No direct studio documentation for this specific song, but the Peavey 6505+ and ESP/EMG combo is confirmed as the band's main rhythm setup for this album cycle. No evidence of pedal use for the riff section; likely straight into amp with noise gate.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, tight palm-muted picking and precise rhythm, typical of metalcore, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
