Notes
Studio recording, 2007 (Storm the Gates of Hell album). Gear inferred from band interviews and reviews for this album era. No direct confirmation for this exact song, but Peavey 5150 II and Washburn Idol were the band's main studio setup for heavy rhythm tones at this time.

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and fast alternate picking in drop B tuning, demanding precision and stamina typical of modern metalcore rhythm guitar.
