	Riff 8

Play Riff 7: 2 times
     Riff 8: 2 times
     Riff 7: 2 times
     Riff 8: 2 times

Basically play from riff 2 through riff 4 for the end of the song.

Check out my latest band "Hell Death" at:    www.geocities.com/helldeathband
or go straight to helldeath.iuma.com to download 2 songs.
(there's no "www" in the iuma address)

This album was the first real death metal album I bought, this song and the
other songs are very fun and easy to play.  If you're just starting to learn the
whole double picking palm-muted/speed metal thing, you should learn this album.
It's a good way to get the technique down, before you move on to the crazy shit.
I actually learned the whole album (riffs) in one day, about 5 years ago.
This month I will tab the rest of the album.
