Notes

Gear is based on studio and live rig overlap for LANDMVRKS during the 'Lost in the Waves' era (2021). The Neural DSP Quad Cortex and Archetype: PLINI plugin are also used for amp/cab simulation, but the Peavey 5150 II is the core amp reference for the riff tone. Studio context inferred from album release and gear lists. No explicit pickup brand/model or selector position confirmed in sources.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise, aggressive picking, tight palm muting, and fast, complex rhythm patterns typical of modern metalcore, making it challenging for intermediate players.
