Notes

Studio recording, 2000 (from 'To Hell and Back' album). No direct evidence for pedals or amp model in sources, but Alexi Laiho was known to use ESP M-II guitars with EMG HZ H4 pickups and Peavey 5150 amps for Sinergy and Children of Bodom recordings in this era. No evidence of live rig for this song's riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, aggressive alternate picking and tight palm muting at a high tempo, with precise rhythm and complex melodic patterns typical of power/melodic death metal.
