Notes
Studio recording, 2018 (song released in June 2018). No direct studio rig rundown found for this song, but ESP guitars with EMG pickups and Mesa/Boogie amps are consistent with As I Lay Dying's known studio setups for this era. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section.

Difficulty
The riff section requires fast, accurate alternate picking with tight palm muting and precise timing, typical of modern metalcore rhythm guitar. The speed and technical control needed place it at a hard (4/5) difficulty.
