                               Embodiment
                                by Carcass
                             from HeartWork
 
 
 I thought to myself - where is the reaction, Carcass' New album,
 HeartWork deserves. People say Death Metal is dead - I say hell!
 And carcass prove I'm right. It's a master album, with Riffs not
 From this world, Smart melodic solos and an attacking original
 Sound and rythem. Each song there is a piece - HeartWork is
 Definantly a real progression from the last album - although some
 May say it's a break down.
 
 It's a *****+  RiffTastik classic.
 
 I have worked a lot of time on this tab for Embodiment, the
 5th fantastic track of HeartWork. I tabed only the riffs
 While if anyone would want the solos - Post me.
 
 Here goes:
 
 Tune your guitar to a dropped D state (i.e. Low E --> lower D).
 
 Make sure the Distortion is on full. You're gonna need it.

 Lyrics:
 *******
 
 Verse 1:
 
 I bow down (before) your precious icon, Deity of self suppression.
 This effigy of flesh. corporeal christi. Nailed!!!!!!!!!!
 In submission to this falst idol. Seeking deliverance!!!!!!!
 >From this spiritual hierarchy. Downward spiralling. a
 Corrupt throne.
 Of repression and guilt.
 
 Our will be done.
 Thy kingdom burns.
 
 Verse 2:
 On my knees, before this tormented flesh, in irreverence.
 In communion with this parasitic host of virtuous divinity.
 This immperious creed bears testament to the failures of our
 Mortality.
 Rightous durance is our cross we bear in stations.
 In stations of the lost.
 
 Our will be done.
 Thy kingdom burn. Thy kingdom burn.
 Our will be done.
 
 >From your knees arise.
 By your own hand, your got (that) you scribe.
 The earth shall inherit the meek.
 Your god is dead.
 
 (Lead - Michael Abbot)
 
 Verse 3:
 Bound down. In god we're trussed. foul stature.
 Icons embodied in flesh. We nail.
 In servitude to deities fashioned in our self image.
 Shadows of eternal strife cast by those who serve.
 Serve a crown of pawns.
 
 (Lead - William Steer).
 
 Lyrics by Jeff Walker.
 Music by Michael Abbot and William Steer.

 Solos for Embodiment by Carcass
 
 Transcribed by Aviad Hay - mail me if you disagree.
 
 I am happy to say that a lot of people posted me after
 The embodiment TAB. Those people are true Carcass fans
 And the solos are mainly for them.
 (That's for you Evan, PRIMOZ and the rest).
 
 I hadn't had them on files and I didn't quite found
 Them all before - so, see what trouble I went through.
 
 
 First Solo by Michael Abbot.
 Use Wah-Wah when needed.
 Use Digital delay effect on Medium.
 
 This is just one of the Solos on heartwork where Michael
 Use the wah-wah in an elastrious dimension.

 Second solo by Bill Steer.
 Vibrato is on.
 
 Note: There is string bending almost on every ending tone - just
       do it with a feeling (of death)

 I'm not sure about that last part. Bill is just hard to figure out.
 Anyway - a tip: On the Steer Solo - use a lot of vibrato banding -
 Listen to the solo a lot to get the feeling.
 
 Well It's 4 in the morning. I better get some sleep.
 
 See ya all Death fans.
