Notes

Studio recording, 2024. Gear confirmed from Premier Guitar rig rundown for Trivium's 2022-2024 era. Both Matt Heafy and Corey Beaulieu use similar setups for rhythm/riff sections. Pedalboard is minimal for riff sections, with emphasis on amp gain and tightness. Effects loop used for noise gate and EQ if needed.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, fast palm muting and precise alternate picking at a high tempo, with syncopated rhythms typical of modern metal, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
