Notes

Studio recording for 'Memento Mori' (2020). Willie Adler has confirmed using the Mesa/Boogie Mark IV for studio rhythm tracks, with the built-in 5-band EQ. Mark Morton may use a similar setup but focus is on Adler's rhythm tone for the riff. No evidence of live rig or alternate amps for this recording.

Difficulty

The riff section of 'Memento Mori' is challenging due to its fast, syncopated rhythm, demanding palm muting, and the need for precise articulation at high gain. The technical picking and tight muting elevate the difficulty.
