Edited to rephrase this as a question as I'm not so sure any more :p If it were 13/8, wouldn't each bar would comprise two 'patterns' (forgot the correct term) with the second beginning halfway between beats 6 and 7? IMO makes less sense than it beginning at the start of a bar of 13/16.

It depends whether the notes we're hearing are 8th notes or 16th notes. Given the style I'd say that they're fast 8ths rather than slow 16ths.

I think another article (perhaps on Synthopia) stated the tempo was 190 bpm or thereabouts, so definitely 8ths.
