Carcass "Empathological Necroticism" (drop me e-mail if you find mistakes)

Argh - this tune is a monster, but a personal favorite for It's lack of guitar solos. A lot of the spots where vibrato Is indicated should be only lightly wiggled - listen to the Disc and you'll notice Bill Steer uses a light vibrato quite Frequently to great effect. As a matter of fact, go buy the Damn CD if you don't have it - it's a masterpiece of Technical grind-death-sludge with an original style. The Lyrics aren't included because I assume you already have the Record if you want to play this...

Tune all strings down 5 half-steps (e.g. B E A D ...)
