Notes

Studio recording, year 1999-2000 (Razorblade Romance sessions). Gear inferred from era-accurate interviews and live photos; no direct studio documentation for this song's intro riff, but Linde used ESP Viper with EMGs and Laney VH100R for the album's heavy rhythm tones.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight palm muting and consistent picking to maintain clarity and aggression, but does not involve complex techniques or fast passages.
