Notes
Studio recording, 1996 (October Rust era). Kenny Hickey used Fernandes Raven Elite Sustainer as main guitar for this era. Amp setup was rack-based with A/DA MP-1 preamp and Mesa power amp/cab. No evidence of live rig or later Schecter guitars for this song/era.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight, articulate palm muting and precise rhythm in a low B tuning, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
