Usually, one dash is a 16th note. In this song, there is two different

time signatures (4/4 & 12/8). So, at 4/4 ---- is one beat, and at

12/8 ------ is one beat. The verse riffs in this song seem to be played at

32nd note, because of this, -------- is one beat.

Unlike all Deicide songs, which the tuning is 1/2 step down, in this one,

the tuning is 1 1/2 step down. (6:Db 5:Gb 4:Cb 3:E 2:Ab 1:Db)
