Notes

Studio recording, 2008 (album 'Go West Young Man, Let the Evil Go East'). Guitarist Alex Torres is confirmed to use the Ibanez XPT700 Xiphos for rhythm/riff sections. No direct evidence of exact amp model or pedals used on this specific recording. All pedal/effect info is inferred from genre and audible characteristics, not from explicit source confirmation.

Difficulty

The riff section requires fast, precise picking and tight palm muting typical of metalcore, with challenging rhythm synchronization and drop tuning, making it difficult for less experienced players.
