Notes

Studio recording, 2005 (Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Vol. 1: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness). Travis Stever played the main riff section with this setup. Claudio Sanchez used a Gibson EDS-1275 for other parts, but the main riff is confirmed to be Travis on the Les Paul with EMGs through the Bogner Uberschall. No evidence of Axe-FX or digital modeling on the original studio recording.

Difficulty

The main riff requires tight, fast alternate picking with aggressive palm muting and precise rhythm, as well as string skipping and wide power chord stretches, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
