Notes
Studio recording, 2016 Popestar EP. Gear inferred from Ghost's known studio rig for this era and genre; no direct source for 'Missionary Man' session, but consistent with band's heavy riff tones on Popestar. No evidence of alternate guitars/amps for this specific track.

Difficulty
The riff requires solid palm muting and tight rhythm but uses straightforward power chords and picking, making it accessible to intermediate players.
