Notes
Studio recording for 'Ruin' (2003, As the Palaces Burn). Mark Morton is seen using a Jackson RR5 in the music video and is known to use DiMarzio Dominion pickups. The JCM2000 DSL100 is confirmed as his main amp for this era. Settings are for studio rhythm/riff tone, not live.

Difficulty
The riff section of 'Ruin' is challenging due to its fast tempo, aggressive palm muting, and precise picking required for clarity and tightness. The rhythm is syncopated and relentless, demanding advanced right-hand technique and stamina.
