Notes

Studio recording, 2017-2018 era. Guitarist Acle Kahney is known to use Mayones Regius 8 with Bare Knuckle Aftermath pickups for riff sections. Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier confirmed for rhythm guitar in this period. Pickup split coil use is mentioned for tone shaping. No direct evidence of pedals in the riff section; focus is on tight, percussive, high-gain rhythm tone.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced rhythmic precision, tight palm muting, and control of low-end clarity on an 8-string guitar, making it challenging for most players.
