Notes

Studio recording for 'Dead End Kings' (2012). No direct source confirms exact guitar or amp for 'Hypnone' riff section. Boss HM-2 pedal confirmed as core to Katatonia's heavy rhythm tone by Anders Nyström in interviews, but not tied to this specific song/section. No evidence of additional pedals or amp effects for the riff.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise palm muting and rhythmic accuracy to maintain clarity under high-gain saturation, with moderate technical challenge due to syncopation and fast chord changes.
