This is probably my favourite "At The Gates" song. I do not have the
original, so I had to transcribe it from the live version on "Terminal
Spirit Disease". It is all correct as far as I can tell. Still, you
really need a bass during some parts of this song in order to produce
the right chord/sound.

just tune both of the guitars down to B.

That is the whole song from start to finish. I am pretty sure it is all
correct, so if you read it carefully you won't have any problems.
