Notes

Studio recording, 2007 (Rom 5:12 album). Guitarist: Morgan Håkansson. Gear confirmed for Marduk's studio and live use during this era, but no explicit photo from the 'Accuser, Opposer' session. Peavey 5150 and ESP E-II M-II with EMG pickups are cited as core gear for heavy rhythm sections. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this song's riff section.

Difficulty

The riff section demands fast, accurate alternate picking and tight palm muting at high gain, with relentless tempo and minimal room for error, making it challenging for most guitarists.
