Morbid Angel's
"God Of Emptiness"
>From the albulm: Covenant
I figured that it's about time someone contributes a little more to the
Morbid Angel section of OLGA. In my opionion, this song contains one of the
best methodical riffs in the metal genre, and is a good example of the merits
that Death Metal has to offer. So here goes the whole thing:
Be sure to tune the guitars down 3 whole steps to (Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, F, Bb) to
simulate the detuned 7 string guitar that Trey plays on this song. I play it
on my guitar that's detuned only 2 1/2 steps, (for Carcass songs) and it sounds
just fine to me.

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 MORBID ANGEL 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.
