Notes

Studio recording, 2019-2020. Rhythm guitars tracked with Epiphone MKH Les Paul 7-string into Peavey Triple XXX II with Ibanez TS-9 and ISP Decimator into Mesa/Boogie cab. Fishman Fluence Modern pickups and Evertune bridge confirmed for this album. Settings estimated based on typical modern metal Peavey amp usage; no exact knob values found.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, precise alternate picking and tight palm muting at a high tempo, with complex rhythm patterns and minimal room for error, making it challenging for most guitarists.
