Comments: What a fucking badass song.  It just doesn't get any more brutal than this.
That's why Possessed ruled.  Possessed kicked everybody's ass.  But I digress.  I think
the tab came out pretty damn good, and there could be a mistake or two in there.  If you
happen to spot one, please point it out to me so I can fix it.  Later.
