Morbid Angel God Of Emptiness From the albulm Covenant I figured that it's about time someone contributes a little more to the Morbid Angel section of OLGA. In my opionion, this song contains one of the best methodical riffs in the metal genre, and is a good example of the merits that Death Metal has to offer. So here goes the whole thing: Be sure to tune the guitars down 3 whole steps to (Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, F, Bb) to simulate the detuned 7 string guitar that Trey plays on this song. I play it on my guitar that's detuned only 2 1/2 steps, (for Carcass songs) and it sounds just fine to me. ) /\ ) Bends: / | full bend and release /| half bend and release Palm muting will be
