Notes
Studio recording, 2002 (album: Resurrection Through Carnage). All evidence points to a Boss HM-2 pedal into a Marshall JCM800 for the riff tone. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the rhythm/riff section. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this specific recording.
Tone Character(10)
chainsaw-like distortionscooped midsbuzzsaw rhythm soundtight and percussive palm mutingraw, abrasive texturefilthy, saturated gaincrushing low endaggressive attackminimal clarity (intentionally lo-fi)no audible reverb or delay
Difficulty
The riff requires fast, precise alternate picking and tight palm muting to achieve the aggressive, percussive attack. While not technically virtuosic, the speed and stamina required, along with the need for tight synchronization, make it moderately challenging.
