Notes

Studio recording for 'Strife' (2013, Vengeance Falls album). Trivium used Kemper Profiling Amps with profiles of high-gain amps (Peavey 5150/6505 likely). All effects were Kemper built-in or profiled pedals. Guitar is Matt Heafy signature Epiphone Les Paul Custom with EMG active pickups. Settings are estimated based on genre, era, and Kemper/5150 typical use. No evidence of live/tour gear being used in studio. Drop C# tuning.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, tight alternate picking and palm muting with precise rhythm and aggressive attack, making it challenging for most players.
