Notes
Studio recording for 'The Madness of Many' (2016); Tosin Abasi confirmed use of Morgan SW50R for album, not Axe-FX. Guitar is Ibanez TAM100 8-string with DiMarzio Ionizer 8 pickups. Rhythm/riff section, not solo. No evidence of live rig or alternate amp for this section.

Difficulty
The riff section of 'Inner Assassins' is extremely technical, requiring advanced right-hand thumping/selective picking, fast and precise rhythm execution, and mastery of extended-range 8-string guitar techniques.
