Notes

Studio recording, 2020 (album: I Let It In and It Took Everything). Gear confirmed for era and likely used in studio based on Premier Guitar rig rundown and typical band workflow. No explicit mention of pedals in the studio for this song, but Sovtek MiG 100 and Telecaster are confirmed for heavy sections. Settings estimated based on genre, amp, and era.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, modern metal rhythm technique with precise palm muting and dynamic picking, as well as control over ambient textures layered in the background.
