Comments: I love this song. I love this whole album. I love Emperor. Too bad these guys are gone, they fucking rocked. Anyway, I think I pretty much nailed it, although a couple riffs may be off a little bit because the keyboard can sometimes throw you off as a tabber. Anyway, if you spot any mistakes, point it out to me and I'll see what I can do, otherwise you can e-mail me the corrections. Enjoy.
