Notes

Studio recording, 2015 (album DOGMA era). Gear based on Aoi's confirmed studio/live rig for this era. No direct evidence for 'Ito' session, but Axe-FX III and ESP A-II are confirmed as main tools for Aoi in this period. No evidence of analog amp or pedalboard in studio; all effects likely via Axe-FX or digital.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and precise alternate picking at a moderate tempo, with syncopated rhythms typical of modern metal. Not technically extreme, but demands accuracy and stamina.
