Notes

Studio recording, 2020. No direct confirmation of exact guitar/amp for this riff, but BMTH are known to use ESP 7-string guitars with active EMGs and Marshall JCM800 models (often via digital modelers/plugins) for heavy rhythm tracks on 'Post Human: Survival Horror'.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate alternate picking and tight palm muting on a low-tuned 7-string, demanding both technical precision and stamina typical of modern metalcore rhythm guitar.
