Notes
Studio recording, 2012 (L'Enfant Sauvage album). Gear confirmed for album era, but no direct source for 'Liquid Fire' riff section. No evidence of additional pedals for rhythm tone; high-gain amp tone is standard for Gojira's heavy riff sections.

The riff requires advanced right-hand technique, tight palm muting, and precise timing to execute the complex, aggressive rhythm patterns typical of Gojira's style.
