Elder Misanthropy Chords & Tabs
artist: the black dahlia murder
track: elder misanthropy
album: unhallowed
tuning is dropped C (dropped D, down 1 more step)
this tab is pretty much about 99% accurate. there might be one or
two small mistakes. also i have left out some obvious palm muted
notes or whatever. if you have enough skill to play the black
dahlia murder songs, you can figure it out.
(0:00) - both guitars
if you are good enough, you can hit the palm muted open notes
between each of the higher notes in this riff
