Notes
Studio recording, 2023-2024 era. Gear inferred from Equipboard and band gear rundowns for Loathe during this album cycle. No evidence of traditional amp head; likely DI or pedal/preamp into EHX 44 Magnum for power/cab sim.

Difficulty
The riff requires precise palm muting, tight rhythm, and control of dynamics under high gain, with some stretches due to the baritone scale. Not technically extreme, but demands tightness and accuracy.
