Notes
Studio recording, 2012 (Colourmeinkindness). Gear inferred from era-accurate live photos, interviews, and genre conventions. No direct source for exact pedal/amp settings for 'Fading' riff, but this is the most widely documented setup for Alex Henery in this period.

The riff requires tight, punchy palm muting and aggressive pick attack for clarity under high gain, but uses straightforward power chords and rhythm, making it accessible to intermediate players.
