Notes
Studio recording, 2003-2004 era for the self-titled album. Barry Stock joined after the album but the band used PRS Singlecut guitars and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifiers for the heavy rhythm tracks. No evidence of live/touring gear being used on the studio recording.

The riff requires tight palm muting and aggressive, consistent picking for the percussive modern rock sound, but uses straightforward power chords and rhythm patterns.
