This one's from the Heaven Shall Burn tour, line-up:
Fredrik Andersson - Drums Of Doom
Morgan SteinMeyer Hkansson - Guitars
Legion - Mouth Of Satan
B. War - Bass
Session Second Guitar on the tour played by Peter Tgtgren
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
84 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 f*****g 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 f**k YOU, LET JESUS f**k YOU!
OR LET JESUS BE f****d BY THE BLOODCULTS (?) OF THE WOODS FOR A THOUSAND YEARS!!!
First there is feedback, but I know s**t. Next:

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.
