Tuning: Down a half step to D#

In typical black metal style theres a lot of fast picking.
So instead of tabbing out every single note.  I will just be tabbing
it as tremolo picking.  I will also put in the time at which each
riff FIRST appears.

notation:
^   =  bend [ ^ = half, ^^ = whole, etc. ]
^r  =  bend and release
x   =  mute with fret-hand
*   =  mute with palm-hand
X\\ =  pick slide
h   =  hammer-on
p   =  pull-off
~   =  vibrato
t   =  tap-on
/   =  slide up
\   =  slide down
h.  =  harmonics
ah  =  artificial harmonic
(9) =  ghost note
tm  =  trem picking
tr  =  trill
