Notes

Studio recording, 2015 (album: Madness). Nick Martin played most rhythm parts, typically with Les Paul Customs into high-gain amps (EVH 5153, Soldano SLO). No explicit pedalboard for this song's riff, but some effects like delay and flanger are used elsewhere on the album. No evidence of live rig for this specific recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and alternate picking at a fast tempo, with precise rhythm and dynamic control typical of modern post-hardcore. Drop tuning and thick strings add to the technical challenge.
