Studio recording, 2024. Guitar confirmed via ESP/YouTube playthroughs and ToneMirror. Amp and pedal chain inferred from ToneMirror breakdowns for Beartooth's modern recordings. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this specific track's riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, tight palm-muted picking and precise rhythm, typical of modern metalcore. While not technically extreme, the speed and tightness demand solid intermediate technique.
