Note: This is my favourite song from the album (that and Cold Demons). It's 
not actually that hard to play (all riffs are played fairly fast) but there 
are loads of different fills and variations, which is quite common with 
Vader. All the fast picking parts are not accurate but listen to the song 
for lengths and timings. Feel free to Email me if you have any questions. 
Enjoy

corrections you have as well.
