Album: Into the Woods of Belial
Song: Into the Woods of Belial
Band: Thou Shalt Suffer
Transcribed by: Warrick McPherson
E-mail: sirwarrick@hotmail.com

This is the full tab (apart from the solo) of Thou Shalt Suffer's
"Into the Woods of Belial". This is a really good classic early
Death/Black metal albumn starring Ihsahn and Samoth of Emperor. This
albumn is a must have in anyone's collection. This is the first song
off that album, and it is also my first attempt at tabing a song.
But don't worry this should all be correct.......Enjoy!!

Tuning: You must tune your guitar all the way down to "C" before
you will be able to play along with this.

NOTATION:

H - hammer on
P - pull off
B - bend
M - palm mute

Riff 9 - this is the riff over which the solo is played.
Maybe i'll figure it out some day. The first time this
riff is played, only the bass plays the first four notes.

|---------------------------6-5---------------|
|--------------------3-2--5-----3-1-----3---2-|
|-0--3--1--2--0--3-1-----------------1----4---|

now go back and play Riff 4

then the guitar plays this cool part which links
Riff 4 to the outro

Riff 10
