Notes

Studio recording, 2010 album 'Sever the Wicked Hand'. Gear based on Kirk Windstein's known studio setup for this era; no direct source confirms exact gear for this song, but all available evidence and genre conventions point to ESP Viper with EMGs into a Peavey 5150. No evidence of pedal use for rhythm tone; distortion from amp. No evidence of time-based or modulation effects on riff section.
