Notes

Studio recording, 2010s+; Ola Englund is known for using his signature Solar guitars with Fishman Fluence Modern pickups. For the riff section, sources indicate use of a Boss MT-2 Metal Zone as a preamp into the effects loop return of a tube amp, a trick Ola has demonstrated. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate picking and tight palm muting at high gain, demanding advanced right-hand technique and rhythmic precision typical of modern metal.
