This is great song. It's really atmospheric, but has
lightning fast guitar parts to it, and a smooth tom-tom
intro or something.
It's a pretty fast guitar piece, but when you get it, it's
nice and satisfying.
My tab is NOT complete, so if you can fill it in, please do so.
Standard Tuning. (EADGBE)

good tab, I just work out something for the variations on the kind of lead parts. It would be nice if you could find out how many times it repeats though.
