Notes
Studio recording, 1993 original session (2023 remaster is a remaster of this). Gear confirmed for 'Individual Thought Patterns' era, not live. No evidence of pedal use for rhythm/riff section; distortion from amp.

The riff section is highly technical, requiring fast alternate picking, tight palm muting, and precise rhythm execution at a rapid tempo, making it challenging even for advanced players.
