Notes

Studio recording, 2006 album 'Allegiance'. No direct source confirms exact guitar/amp for this song, but ESP LTD with EMG actives into a Mesa Dual Rectifier is highly probable for this era and genre. No evidence of alternate gear for riff section.

Difficulty

The riff section is technically demanding due to its fast tempo, intricate palm muting, and the need for precise timing and articulation, typical of deathcore rhythm guitar.
