Notes

Studio recording for 'The Only' (2003, Shadow Zone album). Guitar and amp confirmed by Equipboard and multiple rig diagrams. No evidence of pedals or additional effects in the studio chain for the riff section. Pickup model inferred from signature guitar specs for this era.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and precise alternate picking at a fast tempo, with syncopated rhythms typical of industrial metal. While not technically advanced in terms of note choice, the precision and stamina required raise the difficulty above beginner level.
