Note: FREEZE ME UP is BRAND NEW (Summer 2026 Black Torch OP) — its exact gear/settings aren’t documented yet, so these are an educated estimate based on SiM’s established sound: heavy, downtuned, tight high-gain metal with hard gating. Treat as a starting point and adjust by ear once tabs/rundowns appear., Tune down, use a tight high-gain amp with a hard gate, keep the low end tight and palm-mute hard — SiM’s signature heavy downtuned attack., Settings are an early estimate, not from an official rig rundown; this song is brand new.
