Thanks a lot to Yani and Ray for giving me the opportunity to do this.
My name is Dimitrije Kostic and any questions about this tab or any
others in the Fear Factory Tablature Archive can be emailed to me at

I will gladly investigate any possible errors in any tablature on this site.

The bass here, as usual, follows the guitar melody pretty well. There
should be few trouble spots in this tab. Just try to keep your stamina
up towards the end. Also, feel free to make octave substitutions, such
as...

|-----instead-of-----0--|

...as it may be easier to play. I included more open D strings to give
the bass a more resonating effect. Have fun!
Tune all strings down a perfect fifth (A, D, G, C)
LEGEND:
H -- hit-on
P -- pull-off
~~~~ -- vibrato
A.H. -- Artificial Harmonic

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official FEAR FACTORY tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
