Notes

Studio recording for 'Carrion' (Horizons, 2007). Gear inferred from Equipboard and band interviews for this album era. No direct studio photo, but Peavey 6505 and ESP LTD EC-1000 with EMGs are confirmed as main rhythm setup for this period.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive picking and palm muting at a moderate tempo, with syncopated rhythms and clarity under high-gain settings, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
