This one's from the Heaven Shall Burn tour, line-up:
Fredrik Andersson - Drums Of Doom
Morgan SteinMeyer HÃ¥kansson - Guitars
Legion - Mouth Of Satan
B. War - Bass
Session Second Guitar on the tour played by Peter Tägtgren
My compliments for the inlay booklet from "Live In Germany". That rules!
Normal tuning (EADGBe)
Notation Legend:
15\ slide down the neck from the 15th fret to some indefinate point
8\4 slide down the neck from the 8th fret to the 4th fret
3/4 slide up the neck from the 3rd fret to the 4th fret
(8) ghost note (the note is striked before, but it sounds through)
4tr5 trill (repeated quick hammer-on and pull-off between two notes)
* see note belows lines
The guitar-riff (RIFF1) intro is the most beautiful thing from the whole album. I finally
figured some riff from which I think it's good.
The only problem with Marduk and Dark Funeral is that everything is played this fucking fast
that you can only play the song along with the albums if you play everything out of your memory;
it's so fast, you don't have the time to check a monitor or a piece of paper to see what's played
next...
INTRO:
LET JESUS FUCK YOU, LET JESUS FUCK YOU!
OR LET JESUS BE FUCKED BY THE BLOODCULTS (?) OF THE WOODS FOR A THOUSAND YEARS!!!
First there is feedback, but I know shit. Next:e|------|B|------|G|------|D|------|A|-17\--|E|------|

Weird ending with lots of feedback, trills and whammy bars.
I find this:
B|-20tr19-|
....and an low E5 is ringing during the ending
Then the song continues with
Darkness It Shall Be, see my transcription on The Black Death...
I need lyrics from this song and Darkness It Shall Be. Do you have them? Please mail 'm to me.
