Notes

Studio recording, 2012-2013 for the album 'Sempiternal'. Lee Malia used his Epiphone signature Les Paul with Bare Knuckle Warpig in the bridge, into a Marshall JCM800 2203 head and 4x12 cab. The main riff is played with high-gain, tight rhythm. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this section.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to its tight, palm-muted chugging, syncopated rhythm, and need for consistent pick attack and muting to maintain clarity at medium tempo.
