Song:Vikingland
Artist:Satyricon
Album:The Shadowthrone
Tabbed by:Asbeel@hotmail.com

Pretty staightforward song ... at first listen !! If your a crazy 
perfectionist like me you will notice some strange
grooves in the middle and at the end . There seems to be no real pattern , 
but have no fear I will do It all because , yes
, I am that much of a guitar nazi . Some stuff you may prefer to play on the 
G string ( tremelo riffs ) but I have It on d
because I prefer the tone , no other reason . Whatever tickles your pickle 
.... Here we go .

Key:
v=vibrato
/=slide
pm=palm mute
h=hammer-on
p=pull-off
()=artificial harmonic


Riff 1x6
--------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------
---7-7--7/5-7/8--7-7--7/5-7/8--7-7--7/5-7/8--7-7-7/8-8--
---7-7--7/5-7/8--7-7--7/5-7/8--7-7--7/5-7/8--7-7-7/8-8--
---5-5--5/3-5/6--5-5--5/3-5/6--5-5--5/3-5/6--5-5-5/6-6--

Riff 2x4 x8 pick very fast ,
----------------------------
----------------------------
----------------------------
---12-10-------13-12-13-12--
---------13-12--------------
----------------------------

Riff 2b x8 Octave lower
---------------------
---------------------
---------------------
---------------------
---5-3-----6-5-6-5---

This is the first confusing part , just play It exactly how I have shown and 
listen . You will see what I mean ...

Riff 3ax1
------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------
---7-7-7/5-7/8--7-7-7/5-5/3--7-7-7/5-7/8-7-7-7-8-7-8--
---7-7-7/5-7/8--7-7-7/5-5/3--7-7-7/5-7/8-5-5-5-8-7-8--
---5-5-5/3-5/6--5-5-5/3-3/1--5-5-5/3-5/6-------6-5-6--

Riff 3b x 3 Now the pattern starts:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---7-7-7-5-3--2-2-2-3-5-----7-7-7/5-7/8--7-7-7/5-5/3--7-7-7/5-7/8-7-7-7-8-7-8--
---7-7-7-5-3--2-2-2-3-5-----7-7-7/5-7/8--7-7-7/5-5/3--7-7-7/5-7/8-5-5-5-8-7-8--
---5-5-5-3-1--0-0-0-1-3-----5-5-5/3-5/6--5-5-5/3-3/1--5-5-5/3-5/6-------6-5-6--

Fill 1 x1 End It with this...
------------------------
------------------------
------------------------
---7-7-7-5-3--2-2-2-3-5-
---7-7-7-5-3--2-2-2-3-5-
---5-5-5-3-1--0-0-0-1-3-

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--12-10-12----12-10-12-13--12-10-12----12-10-12-13--12-10------------------------
-----------10-----------------------10--------------------13-12--13-12-10-9-10---
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now the weird part , repeat Riff 3a and 3b twice , EXCEPT replace Fill 1 
with this . Also on 3b . You will understand
when you listen ...

--2--7-7-7-7/5-5/3-2-2--2-3-8--
--0--5-5-5-5/3-3/1-0-0--0-1-6--

Interesting interlude ...

Fun part

I have broken it into sections so the pattern will be easier to catch .

Riff 7a x2

Riff 7c to this ...
