Comments: What's with all the fucking palm muting?  Geez...  Suffo must have known
somebody would try to tab this one day and as a result made it as hard to figure out as
possible.  But I think I've cracked the code.  This song absolutely rules, and
Suffocation were only like the greatest band ever.  I hope when they start writing new
shit, they remember 100% what they used to be and don't let us down, because we need more
shit like this.  Anyway, the tab came out just great, and if I happened to have made any
mistakes in here, I would appreciate it if you would point it out to me.  I've got some
more Suffocation to do, but not today, that's for damn sure.  Later.
