Notes

Studio recording, 2019 (We Are Not Your Kind album). Jim Root and Mick Thomson both tracked rhythm parts; Root is most associated with the Orange Rockerverb for this era and album. No direct evidence for pedals or alternate amps for this specific song's riff section. Gear inferred from era and band interviews.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight palm muting and precise rhythm at a slow tempo, with aggressive picking and dynamic control to maintain heaviness and clarity.
