Notes

Studio recording, 2003. Gear inferred from artist's era-specific usage and photo evidence. No direct studio session documentation found for this exact song, but ESP LTD Okkultist and Blackstar Series One 200 are confirmed as Silenoz's main gear for this period. Pickup type inferred from typical Silenoz setup and genre conventions.

Difficulty

The riff section requires advanced right-hand technique for fast, tight palm-muted chugs and tremolo picking, as well as precise timing to lock in with the complex symphonic arrangement.
