Studio recording for 'Vengeance Falls' (2013). Tracked with a Peavey 5150 (block letter), then reamped through a Kemper Profiler using an Andy Sneap profile. Andy Sneap is known for profiling 5150/5150II/5150III amps. No cabs or mics used in final tone. Gear confirmed for studio album, not live.

Difficulty
The riff section requires fast alternate picking, tight palm muting, and precise rhythm, making it challenging for most players. The complexity of the riffing patterns and need for synchronization with drums/bass adds to the difficulty.
