Notes

Studio recording for 'Crown In The Grave' (2024), rhythm/riff section. Both Matt Heafy and Corey Beaulieu tracked with Kemper Profiling Amps using profiles of their EVH 5150 III heads. No live amp or cab used in studio; direct to console. Guitar is 7-string, tuned to B-flat. Pedal use is minimal for rhythm, with EQ and noise gate in front, and reverb/delay in effects loop if any.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced right-hand technique for fast, tight palm muting and alternate picking on a 7-string in low tuning, with complex rhythm patterns and precise muting for clarity.
