This is just my interpretation. Ive tried, in places, to show
picking patterns which I found to be essential in getting the
sound. Of course, as this is Gorguts (Obscura) dont expect it
to be precise. Just use it as a tool.
You will need to listen to the CD for timing, accentuation, and
harmonics.
I have left all playing explanations at the end of the tab for
easier reading.

Not tabbing the ending as its just C5 chords and noise.
TECHNIQUES
Riff 1
The plus signs tell you where to move your picking hand. Read tab
explanation above. Play around to get the right pitch.
Riff 2
Hammer on all double stops and then pick them as soon as they sound.
*These dont sound like natural harmonics (And I cant get the pitch with
N.H) So just tap hard on the frets with the side of your pick and hold
the note for the amount of time needed.
Riff 3:
Figure out the rhythms yourself its easy enough.
Riff 5
Rhythm can be kind of tricky to start with but listen to the song.
Easiest riff in the song, if you can get the right muting.
