Notes
Studio recording, 2005 (Discovering the Waterfront). No direct source confirms exact guitar/amp, but era and genre, plus band interviews and live photos from this period, strongly indicate Les Paul into Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier for main riff tones.

Difficulty
The riff requires fast, tight alternate picking and palm muting at a high tempo, with precise rhythm and aggressive attack typical of post-hardcore. Not technically advanced, but demands stamina and tightness.
