Notes

Studio recording, 2011; no evidence of traditional amp or analog pedals—amp tone and effects from Neural DSP Fortin Cali plugin or similar digital modeler. Gear confirmed for ERRA's studio work in this era, but not explicitly for 'Sleeper'—inferred from consistent use on adjacent albums and songs.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced right-hand technique, precise palm muting, and tight rhythm execution at high speed, typical of modern progressive metal.
