Notes

Studio recording, 2015 (from 'Madness' album sessions). Nick Martin played most rhythm parts, Jack Fowler handled leads. For heavy riff sections, Les Paul Customs into EVH 5153 or Soldano SLO-100 were primary. Pedals and effects chosen for studio reliability and live reproducibility.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, tight palm muting and precise alternate picking to maintain clarity and aggression, typical of modern post-hardcore rhythm work.
