Studio recording for 'I Will Be Heard' (2003, The Rise of Brutality). Rhythm section is straight into Marshall head with no pedals except a TS9 Tube Screamer used in front of the amp. No modulation or time-based effects are mentioned or audible. Settings and gear are for the studio recording, not live.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, aggressive alternate picking and tight palm muting for clarity and punch, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
