Notes

Studio recording, 2004; gear inferred from Equipboard for this era and album. No direct studio documentation, but Blackstar and Schecter Hellraiser are strongly associated with the band's mid-2000s sound. Marshall JCM2000 and VHT Pittbull Ultra Lead also listed as used by band members, but Blackstar is most cited for this period. Pickup model inferred from standard Hellraiser C-1 FR specs for 2004.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight palm muting, fast alternate picking, and precise rhythm, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
