Notes

Studio recording, 1989. Both guitarists used BC Rich Warlocks with high-output humbuckers. Peavey Bandit 112 solid-state amps were used in the studio for 'Realm of Chaos', not Marshall or Mesa. No evidence of additional pedals or rack effects for rhythm tone. Tuned to C# standard. No evidence of live rig or later-era gear used on this recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires solid palm muting technique, tight rhythm, and control over high-gain clarity, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or extreme speed.
