Notes

Studio recording, 2022 (Dominion album). PRS Custom 24 and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier are confirmed as Skillet's studio gear for this era and genre. Settings are inferred from multiple Skillet studio tone guides for similar songs from the same album cycle. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section of 'Burn It Down'.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, tight palm muting and precise alternate picking to maintain clarity at high gain, with syncopated rhythms and noise control adding to the challenge.
