Before Gorge starts singing the second guitar is creating some atmosphere-tones
or whatever. Sounds a bit like the beginning  of Raining Blood from Slayer,
if you know what I mean.

( i don’t know how often the strings are played here. Just listen to the
 Song and you’ll get it)


I’m not sure about the fast riff before the little solo. Couldn’t figure it
out yet.The solo is very similar to the main theme (riff 1) and is played
like this I think.
