Notes

Studio recording, 2010 (Opus Eponymous album). Gear based on early Ghost era and forum/UG sources referencing the use of Gibson RD and Orange amps for this track. No evidence of pedals for the riff section; reverb likely from amp or studio. Settings estimated based on genre, amp, and era.

Difficulty

The riff requires solid palm muting, accurate timing, and dynamic picking to achieve the punchy, articulate crunch characteristic of the track, but does not involve advanced techniques or high speed.
