Comments:  I got the main idea of the song from Dimebolt's version, but there were some 
missing parts and some others were wrong.  He nailed the intro riff, though.  Anyway, 
this version is much better.  Keep in mind it's a lot easier to correct a tab with a lot of 
mistakes than it is to make your own tab with a lot of mistakes in it from scratch.  That 
being said, e-mail me if you spot a mistake, and I doubt you will.  Later, Demigods and 
Fallen Elders.

	Yahooo! first post! why has no one posted!? this is my favourite song off hell awaits. the solo which starts the bass part is a real classic moment of metal. its what thrash is all about, it kicks so much ass, metallica can't touch this.
