 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 ...)
 
 *=vibrato
 [pm]=palm mute
 [dp]=double pick
