Probably has something to do with its incredible speed. Comments: For some reason most of these metal tunes don't seem to use the high strings very much, do they? You will only see the bottom three strings throughout this tab. Palm muting? Don't worry about it. Except for cutting notes short, none of the notes in these riffs need to be muted. I didn't much feel like figuring out the solo in this track. You're on your own if you think you can play it. Tuning is Drop-Db. This means tune to Eb then drop the sixth string down one full step to Db. Time signatures change once or twice in this tune. Changes look like this: |7:----| For those of you who don't know, 7/8 is simply a normal |8:----| 4-beat measure with one half-beat taken off. |------| Listen to the song and you'll understand. |---*-/---| This means 'repeat the last measure' |----/----| |---/-*---| Generally one dash is a sixteenth note in length. So ---- is one beat. Pat O'Brien has the left stereo channel, Jack Owen the right. And finally, since the lyrics to Cannibal Corpse songs are so amusing, and this song is no exception, I have included them in the proximity of the riffs they should be sung to. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Tempo 275 bpm (hahaha, good luck) Intro Db |----------------|----------------| Ab |5-------3---2---|6-------4---3---| Db |7-------5---4---|8-------6---5---| Both Gtrs play Intro 4x Then play: Db |-LeftGtr--------|---------|---------|7:---------------| Ab |2---------------|---------|---------|8:---------------| Db |4---------------|---------|---------|-----------------| | | | | | Db |-RightGtr-------|---*-/---|---*-/---|7:-------0h3-0h4-| Ab |3222222252222222|----/----|----/----|8:-322222--------| Db |----------------|---/-*---|---/-*---|-----------------| Db |4:-----------------|---------|---------|----------------| Ab |4:-2---------------|---------|---------|----------------| Db |---4---------------|---------|---------|----------------| | | | | | Db |4:-----------------|---*-/---|---*-/---|--0h3-0h4-0h3\\-| Ab |4:-3222222252222222|----/----|----/----|22--------------| Db |-------------------|---/-*---|---/-*---|----------------| Db |----------------|--------------0h|3-0h4-0h3-0h4-0h|3-0h4-0h3\\\\\\| Ab |2222222252222222|32222222522222--|----------------|---------------| Db |4---------------|----------------|----------------|---------------| | | | | | Db |----------------|--------------0h|3-0h4-0h3-0h4-0h|3-0h4-0h3\\\\\\| Ab |3222222252222222|32222222522222--|----------------|---------------| Db |----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------| Db |----------------|---*-/---|3h4p3h4-2h3p2h3-|1h2p1h2-0h1p0h1-| Ab |3222222252222222|----/----|----------------|----------------| Db |----------------|---/-*---|----------------|----------------| | | | | | Db |----------------|---*-/---|----------------|----------------| Ab |3222222252222222|----/----|----------------|----------------| Db |----------------|---/-*---|3h4p3h4-2h3p2h3-|1h2p1h2-0h1p0h1-| Main Riff Db |----------------|---*-/---|---*-/---|------0h2-0h3---| Ab |3222222252222222|----/----|----/----|322222----------| Db |----------------|---/-*---|---/-*---|----------------| Db |----------------|---*-/---|--------------0h|3-0h4-0h3-0h1---| Ab |3222222252222222|----/----|32222222522222--|----------------| Db |----------------|---/-*---|----------------|----------------| Db |----------------|--------------0h|3-0h4-0h3-0h4-0h|3-0h4-0h3-0h1---| Ab |3222222252222222|32222222522222--|----------------|----------------| Db |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| Db |----------------|---*-/---|3h4p3h4-2h3p2h3-|1h2p1h2-0h1p0h1-| L-Gtr Ab |3222222252222222|----/----|----------------|----------------| Db |----------------|---/-*---|3h4p3h4-2h3p2h3-|1h2p1h2-0h1p0h1-| R-Gtr Both Gtrs play Main Riff 1x with lyrics: The basement incinerator Is where they'll put the dead Hose the floor and clean the room Anywhere they bled Into boxes go the bags Fill the space with rocks In the dark of night He throws them off the docks Rotting in the river Never to be found Under tons of concrete Deep beneath the ground From behind he grabs his mouth The blade goes to the neck Bulging veins pumping blood He struggles to protect Chorus Riff Db |-LeftGtr--------|----------------|4-4-4-4---------|----------------| Ab |2-2-2-2---------|------------5-5-|--------5-5-4-4-|5-5-5-5-3-3-3-3-| Db |--------4-4-3-3-|0-0-0-0-6-6-----|----------------|----------------| | | | | | Db |-RightGtr-------|----------------|4-4-4-4---------|3-3-3-3-1-1-1-1-| Ab |2-2-2-2---------|------------5-5-|--------5-5-4-4-|----------------| Db |--------4-4-3-3-|0-0-0-0-6-6-----|----------------|----------------| Db |-BothGtrs-------|----------------|----------------|------------6-6-| Ab |2-2-2-2---------|------------5-5-|--------5-5-8-8-|5-5-5-5-8-8-----| Db |--------4-4-3-3-|0-0-0-0-6-6-----|6-6-6-6---------|----------------| Play Chorus Riff 2x with lyrics: If you don't cut open the stomach The corpse will rise and float The victim is discovered dead Rotting organs bloat The killer chops the body With a scalpel and an axe The parts are then drained And put into the sacks Play Main Riff again, RightGtr only for the first 4 bars, then Both Gtrs and lyrics: Grab the neck, Slit the throat, Take the life Hang the corpse -
