Quick Question. How can you (I) try and replicate that ''effect'' Freddie does at '' And FACE the truth'' part? 1:21. It just feel oddly satisfying for me, I just want to know how he gets that very ''raspy'' sound.

He's "leaning into it" as Ken likes to say. It's mostly supporting well, and keeping the cords closed pretty tightly, so that it kind of makes a grindy, gritty sound.

By the way, it was 2:21. Typo.

Oddly, at about 2:21, it's the same part of the verse as at 1:21, and he does the same "Leaning into it" there too.
