Notes

Studio recording for 'Inside the Fire' (2008). Guitarist Dan Donegan is known to use Schecter C-1 Custom guitars with Seymour Duncan Custom Custom SH-11 pickups for rhythm work on this album. The Egnater Armageddon was his main amp for both studio and live during this era. No evidence of other guitars or amps used for the main riff section. No evidence of effects other than a noise gate for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate alternate picking and tight palm muting at a high tempo, with precise noise control due to high-gain settings and aggressive playing dynamics.
