E M P E R O R  - “THE LOSS AND CURSE OF REVERENCE”

Key:
/  = slide
ah = artificial harmonic
tr = thrill
h  = Hammer-on

I’m not totally sure about the tuning but think its:(low to high: Eb Ab Db

Or normal tuning: (E A D G B E)

End’s with some flageolet thingy’s.

Personally, I think this is the best song ever, made by Emperor. It’s
beautiful yet very strong and aggressive. Good luck with this composition
and hope I gave you a good view on this song with my tabbing. \m/
