Notes

Studio recording, 1994 (De Profundis sessions). Guitarist Piotr 'Peter' Wiwczarek is known to have used Jackson Soloist with EMG 81 pickups and Marshall JCM800 for rhythm tracks on this album. No evidence of pedal use for rhythm tone; distortion from amp. No evidence of additional effects in riff section. Settings estimated based on genre, era, and typical amp use.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate alternate picking and tight palm muting at a high tempo, demanding both technical precision and stamina typical of early 1990s death metal rhythm guitar.
