Same estimation basis as BFG Division. Rip & Tear has a slightly more mid-forward, grinding character compared to BFG Division's more synth-heavy approach, but the core guitar rig is identical.

Playing Technique

Fast, aggressive palm-muted riffing with tight rhythmic precision. More tremolo-picked sections compared to BFG Division. The track has a relentless, driving energy with constant low-string chugging. Pinch harmonics and feedback used for intensity.
