Systematic - Beginning Of The End Chords & Tabs

Band: Systematic
Album: Somewhere in Between
Song: "Beginning of the End," Track #2.
Alright guys, this song has a peculiar tone or chord shape 
or something that just doesn't sound normal to me. I tabbed 
it out just using straight power chords and it sounds good,
but if any of you know of another way to play it let me know. 
I've got the notes right, I just think that he's using a 
bizarre voicing of the same chords. Anyways, drop your guitar 
down two whole steps and here it is, just using power chords. 

Intro (Riff 1)
c--|------------------------------|--------------

let the last chord ring

Pre chorus: play riff 3, but don't palm mute. Although
you're not palm muting, don't let the notes ring. Pick 
with quick, short, loud jabs.
