I believe that is it.  This is a great Celtic Frost tune!
 I don’t have the song right now, so this comes from my head. 
 I haven’t even attempted to put time indications with each 
riff, so you’ll have to listen to the song.  Please inform me 
of any mistakes!  Also, if anyone has the solo, please send it
 to me.  Enjoy...
