Notes
Studio recording for 'The Great War' (2019). Chris Rörland is confirmed to use the Ibanez RG752AHM AWD and Kemper Profiler Rack for this album. No evidence of live-specific gear for the studio recording. All gear tied to the album era, not general touring rig.
Tone Character(10)

Difficulty
The riff requires fast, tight alternate picking with aggressive palm muting and precise rhythm, especially on a 7-string guitar. While not extremely technical, the tempo and precision demand intermediate to advanced skills.
