Studio recording, 2023 album 'Take Me Back to Eden'. Guitarist IV is known to use ESP LTD baritones with EMG pickups for riff sections. Amp is likely EVH 5150 III or digital model of similar high-gain amp (Neural DSP Gojira plugin is widely believed to be used on the album).

Difficulty
The riff requires tight palm muting, accurate picking, and control over low-tuned baritone strings to maintain clarity and articulation in a high-gain setting. The technical challenge is above average due to the need for rhythmic precision and muting.
