Notes
This is a chiptune/8-bit emulation of Slipknot's 'Eyeless' riff, created by 8-Bit Arcade. No physical guitar, pickups, or amp were used; all sounds are synthesized to mimic the original heavy metal tone. No studio/live distinction is relevant; original Slipknot recording was in 1999, but this cover is a modern digital emulation.
