Notes

Studio recording, 2009. Gear inferred from Atreyu's known studio setup for 'Congregation of the Damned' era. No direct source for this exact song, but consistent with band's studio rig for heavy rhythm tracks.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate picking and tight palm muting typical of modern metalcore, with moderate technical challenge due to tempo and rhythmic precision.
