Notes
Studio recording for 'Take a Look in the Mirror' (2003); both Munky and Head used Ibanez K7 7-strings and Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier amps for the main riff sections. No evidence of live gear or alternate amp/guitar for this specific song's riff section.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and precise rhythm with syncopation, as well as handling a 7-string guitar in a low tuning. While not technically virtuosic, the speed, tightness, and articulation demand solid intermediate-to-advanced metal rhythm technique.
