Notes

Studio recording for 'Gateways to Annihilation' (2000). Trey Azagthoth is known to use Ibanez Universe 7-string guitars with DiMarzio Blaze pickups and Marshall JCM900 amps for this era. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this specific riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced right-hand technique for fast, tight palm muting and precise alternate picking, with complex rhythm patterns and syncopation typical of technical death metal.
