Notes

Studio recording, 2022 (album: Omnium Gatherum). Joey Walker is the primary guitarist for heavy riff sections. Amp setup is confirmed for studio and live, but settings are estimated for the studio heavy riff. Mesa Boogie PowerHouse Attenuator may be used to control volume. No evidence of additional studio-only gear.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate picking and palm muting at high gain, with tight timing and complex patterns typical of modern metal, making it challenging for most players.
