Notes

Studio recording, 2010 (Diamond Eyes album). Gear confirmed for this era and album, but no explicit confirmation for clean section of 'Entombed'. No direct evidence of alternate guitar or amp for clean parts; assumed same rig with clean patch/settings. No evidence of alternate pickup type or guitar for clean sections.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires accurate picking and muting on an 8-string guitar, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
