Notes

Studio recording for 'Horizons' (2007). Both Jeff Ling and Luke Kilpatrick are confirmed to have used the Framus Cobra for the album, with EMG-loaded guitars. Peavey 5150/6505 and Mesa Dual Rectifier are also associated with the band, but Framus Cobra is specifically cited for this album's recording. No evidence of other guitars or amps for the main riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced right-hand technique for fast, tight palm-muted chugs, precise alternate picking, and maintaining clarity at high speed, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
