Notes

Studio recording for 'Blood Eagle' (2019, Periphery IV: Hail Stan). Main rhythm/riff tracked with Axe-Fx III using ML Sound Lab cabs. No evidence of live rig or real amp used on this recording. Guitar passed between band members, but Jackson Misha Mansoor Signature 7-string with Bare Knuckle Juggernaut pickups is most likely for riff section.

Difficulty

The riff section of 'Blood Eagle' is extremely challenging due to its fast tempo, intricate rhythm patterns, aggressive palm muting, and technical demands of extended range guitar in a very low tuning.
