It's not the best Morbid Angel song but still it kicks major ass.
So check it out. I find it is pretty close to the original
(exept for the solo which I didn't tab).

The 1111's and 3333's are of course tremolo picking too;
the notes are however played longer than the previous ones.

Now play Verse Riff 2 several times

And proceed to the chorus


Chorus Riff 3
|---------------------------------------------------------| both

|-----------4"5"4"5"--4"5"---------------4"5"4"5"--4"-----| play this

Guitar 1 keeps on playing Riff 3 while Guitar 2 comes up with this?

Chorus Riff 3*
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------4"5"4"5"--4"5"-----------4"5"4"5"--4"---------|
|-------4"5"--------5"-----------4"5"--------5"-----------|

|---------------------------------------------------------|

I am quite sure that this is all tremolo picking. It's tricky as hell.
But who said that playing M A songs is a piece of cake. Trey is a God!



Now play Introductory verse riff 2* once

And continue playing Verse Riff 2 several times


Riff 4
|-----------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------|
|------------4----(b3r2~)-------------4----(b3r2~)----|
|-----------------------------------------------------|   guitar 1

	 .      | guitar 2 |        .    | guitar 2 |

I know the 0hp2r1-3 stuff looks kind of fucked up but I could not
figure out a better way to transcribe it. What you have to do is;
do a hammer-on on the first fret but don't play a 1 here but simply
pre-bend the string (p2) and then release it to a 1 (r1).
Then play a palm muted 3.
If you do it the right way it should sound quite exactly like the
original riff.

The stuff in brackets is not to be played the first
two times the riff is perfored!

	    1st ending	 2nd ending

Now return to Riff 4

Then play Riff 5 under solo,

Play Intro Riff 1 and 1* once

Play Verse Riff several times

Play Chorus Riff 3 and 3*

End the song with the Introductory Verse Riff followed by this:

|----------------------------------------------------|

Dive whammy bar on the last chord

I didn't transcribe the solo as you see. It is too fucking weird;
too much delay and tapping.

Nevertheless, I hope you enjoyed this tab!
