Notes

Studio recording, 2026 release. Gear inferred from Arch Enemy's consistent use of ESP guitars with EMG pickups and Peavey 5150/6505 amps for rhythm tones in modern albums. No direct studio photo or interview for this exact song, but no evidence of a change in core rhythm rig. No evidence of additional pedals or effects in the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff section requires advanced right-hand picking speed, tight palm muting, and precise left-hand synchronization at a fast tempo, typical of modern melodic death metal rhythm guitar.
