Notes
Studio recording, 2014. Guitarist Stephen Rutishauser is confirmed to use a Kemper Profiler Rack for Chelsea Grin studio work in this era. The RG8 with EMG 808s is the most documented guitar for this period. No evidence of live rig or alternate amps/pickups for this recording.

tight and percussiveaggressive palm mutingscooped midshigh-gain saturationarticulate low endmodern djent attackcrushing breakdownsclear note separationlow-tuned chugsprecise and punchy
Difficulty
The riff section requires advanced palm muting, tight rhythm control, and precise execution of syncopated, low-tuned chugs typical of modern deathcore/djent. The technical demands and speed place it at a hard (4/5) difficulty.
