Notes

Studio recording, 1996 album 'Pigwalk'. Guitarist Rich Ward is known to use ESP LTD EC-1000 with active pickups and Marshall JCM800 for rhythm tones in this era. Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier and Peavey 5150 are also mentioned as alternatives, but JCM800 is the primary cited amp for this song's riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, aggressive palm muting with tight synchronization and precise picking, typical of groove metal. Muted string control and stamina are necessary due to the tempo and percussive attack.
