A short selection from their earliest album.
Comments:
I will only use the necessary strings for each riff, so be careful to
make sure you're playing on the right strings.
There are some noticeable tempo variations in this song. I've tried
to give an idea of when it slows down, and included the exact bpm tempos
in a few places for those of you are familiar with such things.
Notation explanation:
/=3=\
|---------|
|--0-0-0--| Triplets. Play 3 notes where you would normally play 2.
|---------|
|3:-| |4:-|
|4:-| |4:-| Time signature changes.
|---| |---|
Generally one dash is a sixteenth note in length. So ---- is one beat.
Sometimes there's a lot of double digit fret positions or notation
symbols so I have to stretch it out more. When that happens I'll use
the usual method of writing the note lengths underneath each note.
q=quarter (1 beat) e=eighth (1/2 beat) s=sixteenth (1/4 beat)
Uppercase signifies a rest.
Guitars are tuned to Eb. Guitarists are Bob Rusay (LeftGtr) and Jack
Owen (RightGtr).
The lyrics are here for you to growl, but the words are _very_
unintelligable on this album.

Puss through your veins takes the place of blood

I see from the liner notes that Glen Benton from Deicide does some
guest vocals on this song. I guess that's where the background guys are
screaming <maggots!>.
