Notes

Studio recording, 2010 (Desolation of Eden album). No direct source for exact gear on 'Recreant' solo, but all evidence and genre/era point to Schecter 7-string with EMG 707s into a Peavey 6505+ or similar high-gain amp. No evidence of different gear for solo vs rhythm.

The solo requires fast, accurate picking and advanced fretboard navigation on a 7-string, with tight palm muting and aggressive articulation typical of deathcore solos.
