Notes

Studio recording, 2022 (Scoring the End of the World album). Gear inferred from band interviews, live footage, and genre/era conventions. No direct source confirms exact amp/pedal for this specific song/section, but Schecter 7-string and Peavey 6505+ are the band's known studio setup for heavy rhythm parts in this era.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced picking accuracy, tight palm muting, and control of low-string djent-style rhythms at a fast tempo, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
