Notes
Studio recording, 2020-2021. Main riff section. Kemper Profiler used with a profile of a Peavey 6505+ head, Maxon OD-808 in front, Mesa/Boogie oversized cab, SM57 mic. Settings estimated based on typical 6505+ metal tones and artist comments. No evidence of live-specific changes.

tight and percussivemodern metal clarityaggressive attackarticulate low endcompressed and saturatedclear note separationminimal ambiencefocused midrangehigh-output active pickup punchdry, controlled sustain
Difficulty
The riff requires tight, percussive palm muting and precise alternate picking at a medium-fast tempo, with consistent attack and control in a low tuning. While not extremely technical, the modern metal style demands accuracy and stamina.
