I'm not really familiar with Morbid Angel, I haven't heard many songs from them.
So, I'm not sure of what tuning or chords Azagthoth is using in this song.
I also don't have a seven string guitar like he does.
So, in other words, this tab is not that accurate.  It's just to give you an idea
of how it goes.

I think the tuning is 3 steps down for a six-string, standard for a seven-string
(at least it sounds like it to me). the tab is for a seven string. if you want
to play it on a detuned six-string, just ignore the topmost line of the tab.

there's 3 riffs and 2 fill in the song.
here's the song structure:

A x 19 times
B x 2 times
A x 8 times
B x 2 times
A x 8 times
fill 1 x 1 time
C x 8 times

                            *he plays this part with a single guitar in the intro
                            *(and in the verse stanzas) 2 times, then doubles it with
                            *a 2nd guitar later


B:                 "you scarred our existence"

I didn't tab the solo 'cause I think there aren't really any cool licks in that
solo that anybody would play
it's just weird, spastic playing with a chorus/harmonizer effect.
