Title: Thus Spake the Nightspirit
Band: Emperor
Album: Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk

Transcription: Robinson Marks (rbj125@hotmail.com)

This is the first tab i've written. it should give you a good idea
of how to play the song. It wasn't the easiest to transcribe--
with all the backround buzzing and general noise common in Emperor tunes-
so tell me if i've got something wrong - by writing to my email. I havn't
distinguished parts between Ishan and Samoth- cause i don't know, but you
can figure that out.
