Notes

Studio recording for 'No one should read this' (2020, Matriphagy album). Alex Snowden is confirmed to use the Schecter C-7 Apocalypse and ISP Theta Pro DSP for Tallah's heavy riff tones. No evidence of live-specific substitutions for the studio recording. No evidence of a traditional tube amp or alternate guitar for this song's riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced palm muting at high speed, precise timing, and aggressive picking to maintain clarity and tightness in a dense, high-gain mix.
