Notes

Studio recording, 2018-2019, 'We Are Not Your Kind' album. Jim Root used a unique custom-modded Bogner Uberschall for about 70% of the record, with an additional Uberschall 'purple mod' and Mesa Boogie Mark IIC for layering. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars/amps for this specific riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced right-hand technique for fast, tight palm muting and alternate picking, as well as precise timing and articulation to match the aggressive, percussive feel of the track.
