Notes
Studio recording, 2009 (Awake album). Gear inferred from Skillet's known studio use and genre/era. No direct source for this specific song, but PRS Custom 24 and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier are repeatedly cited as the core studio rig for Skillet's heavy rhythm tones in this era.

Difficulty
The riff requires fast, aggressive alternate picking and tight palm muting to maintain clarity and punch, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
