          This is great song. It's really atmospheric, but has 
          lightning fast guitar parts to it, and a smooth tom-tom
          intro or something.
          It's a pretty fast guitar piece, but when you get it, it's
          nice and satisfying.
          My tab is NOT complete, so if you can fill it in, please do so.
