Notes

Studio recording, 2017 (from 'Ultu Ulla' era). Lucas Mann is reported to have used a Peavey 3120, possibly profiled into Axe-Fx. Guitar is a Schecter Banshee Elite 8 with stock Seymour Duncan pickups. No direct evidence of pedals or effects used on the riff section; tone is extremely tight and high-gain, typical of modern technical deathcore. No evidence of time-based or modulation effects on the main riff section.

The riff section is highly technical, requiring expert-level speed, accuracy, and rhythmic precision, with advanced picking and muting techniques typical of modern technical death metal.
