Notes

Studio recording, 1993. The classic 'chainsaw' tone was achieved by running the guitar into a Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal pedal (all knobs maxed), into a Peavey Bandit 112 amp. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the main riff. Settings estimated based on genre, era, and typical HM-2/Peavey Bandit usage for Swedish death metal.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically tight and requires aggressive palm muting and fast alternate picking, but does not involve advanced techniques or complex chord shapes.
