Notes

Studio recording, 2009. Gear inferred from Equipboard for 'Stand Up And Scream' album era. No direct evidence for this exact song, but Blackout AHB-2 pickups and Peavey 6505+ are widely cited for Ben Bruce and Cameron Liddell during this period. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, tight alternate picking with aggressive palm muting and precise rhythm, typical of modern metalcore. String skipping and muting accuracy add to the technical challenge.
