Title: Thus Spake the Nightspirit
Band: Emperor
Album: Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk

Transcription: Robinson Marks (rbj125@hotmail.com)

This is the first tab i've written. it should give you a good idea
of how to play the song.  It wasn't the easiest to transcribe--
with all the backround buzzing and general noise common in Emperor tunes-
so tell me if i've got something wrong - by writing to my email.  I havn't
distinguished parts between Ishan and Samoth- cause i don't know, but you
can figure that out.

symbols:

	h-hammer on
	p-pull off
	/-slide up
	\-slide down
	[]- pinch harmonics

Intro riff:

this time, substitute last chord of Riff B w/ this:


                                                 ------------
                                                 ------------
                                                 --9/10\9----
