Notes
Studio recording, 2018 (Ember album); evidence points to heavy use of Darkglass preamp/DI for distortion and tone shaping, likely DI with possible amp blend

Difficulty
The part is rhythmically straightforward but requires tight, consistent pick playing and palm muting to maintain clarity and punch through heavy distortion. The main challenge is articulation and control, not technical complexity.
