Notes

Studio recording, 1991. Gear confirmed for Arise album sessions. Max Cavalera used BC Rich Warlock NJ Series; Andreas Kisser used Music Man Silhouette Special. Marshall JCM800 is the most commonly cited amp for the era and album, though other Marshalls may have been present. Settings are estimated based on genre, amp, and era due to lack of explicit numeric values.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, tight alternate picking and palm muting at high speed, with precise rhythm and aggressive attack, making it challenging for most players.
