Notes

Studio recording for 'Disarm the Descent' (2012-2013). Both Adam and Joel tracked rhythm parts, using Caparison guitars and a blend of Peavey 5150, Soldano SLO-100, and Fortin amps. Pedals included Maxon OD808/OD-9 and Boss NS-2. Settings are estimated for studio rhythm tone. No evidence of time-based or modulation effects on the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced palm muting, fast alternate picking, and tight rhythm playing at a high tempo, demanding both precision and endurance typical of modern metalcore.
