Notes

Studio recording for 'Corrosive' (2022, Dying of Everything album). Rhythm section tracked by Trevor Peres using his signature setup: Strat HSS with bridge humbucker, tone knob rolled down, into Pro Co RAT distortion and Marshall JCM800 2204. No evidence of additional effects or amp reverb. Settings inferred from interviews and genre conventions.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, tight picking and palm muting at high gain, demanding rhythmic precision and stamina, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
