Notes
Studio recording, 2009 (Dear Agony album). Gear inferred from era and multiple sources referencing Ben Burnley's studio setup for heavy rhythm tones. No direct source for 'Lights Out' session, but PRS/EMG/Mesa Rectifier is confirmed for this album's heavy tracks.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight palm muting, precise rhythm, and control of noise/chug artifacts under high gain, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
