Notes

Studio recording, 2004 (Ashes of the Wake bonus track). Mark Morton played the main riff sections with his Jackson Dominion through a Mesa/Boogie Rectifier Badlander. No evidence of live rig or alternate amps for this specific song section. No evidence of additional effects or pedals used in the riff section beyond possible overdrive/boost and noise gate for tightness.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate alternate picking with aggressive palm muting and tight rhythm control at a high tempo, making it challenging for most players.
