To mark the 10th anniversary of As I Lay Dying’s The Powerless Rise, guitarist Phil Sgrosso posted several fiery Instagram clips of his guitar parts off the album.

“[This is] one of my favorite As I Lay Dying riffs just because it’s sort of odd and not the most straightforward, but it’s still mean and aggressive,” noted Sgrosso of “The Only Constant is Change.”

Armed with his Charvel Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1 HH FR E plugged into an EVH 5150 EL34 head, Sgrosso also broke down the throttling riffs for “Beyond Our Suffering” and “The Plague.”

“I initially loved the riff and I think the only change to help spice it up was the tail end walkdown, pull offs and added harmonies,” said Sgrosso of “The Plague.” “This song is another reason The Powerless Rise is our fastest record!”
