Notes

Studio recording, 2007 (Ire Works album). Ben Weinman used the ESP LTD BW-1 with EMG active pickups into a Mesa/Boogie Mark V head, typically through a Laney 4x12 cab (Celestion Vintage 30s) and/or Randall Isolation cab for tight low end. Effects were minimal and focused on high-gain, noise suppression, and occasional fuzz. Settings and pedal use are based on studio-era interviews and rig rundowns for this album cycle.

Difficulty

The riff section demands expert-level technical ability due to its high speed, complex rhythms, and the need for precise, aggressive picking and muting. The mathcore style requires mastery of odd meters and rapid transitions.
