DIMMU BORGIR - UNITED IN UNHALLOWED GRACE 
                      From "SPIRITUAL BLACK DIMENSIONS" 
                                Version 1.1 
                                (19/04/2001)

tr - trill notes                        fb - full bend (1step) 
< > - harmonic                        < *> - artificial harmonic 
 
Riffs 5a, 5c, and 5d are all exactly the same, except a different artificial harmonic is used. It's 
a subtle difference between the 3 versions, but is worth noting. Riff 2a is played with it in unison, 
however there is no change in that riff over the duration of Riffs 5a, 5c, and 5d.
