DIMMU BORGIR - UNITED IN UNHALLOWED GRACE
From "SPIRITUAL BLACK DIMENSIONS"
Version 1.1
(19/04/2001)
. - palm mute / - slide up to
\ - slide down to ~ - vibrato
" - tremelo picking () - ghost note
p - pull off h - hammer-on
tr - trill notes fb - full bend (1step)
< > - harmonic < *> - artificial harmonic
Riffs 5a, 5c, and 5d are all exactly the same, except a different artificial harmonic is used. It's
a subtle difference between the 3 versions, but is worth noting. Riff 2a is played with it in unison,
however there is no change in that riff over the duration of Riffs 5a, 5c, and 5d.
