Argh – this tune is a monster, but a personal favorite for
It’s lack of guitar solos. A lot of the spots where vibrato
Is indicated should be only lightly wiggled – listen to the
Disc and you’ll notice Bill Steer uses a light vibrato quite
Frequently to great effect. As a matter of fact, go buy the
Damn CD if you don’t have it – it’s a masterpiece of
Technical grind-death-sludge with an original style. The
Lyrics aren’t included because I assume you already have the
Record if you want to play this…
Tune all strings down 5 half-steps (e.g. B E A D …)
