Song: Black Winter Blood-Bath
Album: Enter the Moonlight Gate

Tuning: Down a half step to D#
In typical black metal style theres a lot of fast picking.
So instead of tabbing out every single note. I will just be tabbing
it as tremolo picking. I will also put in the time at which each
riff FIRST appears.
notation:
^ = bend [ ^ = half, ^^ = whole, etc. ]
^r = bend and release
x = mute with fret-hand
* = mute with palm-hand
X\\ = pick slide
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
~ = vibrato
t = tap-on
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
h. = harmonics
ah = artificial harmonic
(9) = ghost note
tm = trem picking
tr = trill

confident that they are pretty close.
