One of the first Kreator songs ever, even appeared at their first
demo when they were still known as Tormentor. In my opinion, this
is one of the best from the album and a Kreator-classic.
1) Main riff:
G|---------------------------------------3-2------|
D|----------------------2---0-2-0-2----------3-2--|
A|-x/-2---222-2-2---x/--0---0-0-0-0-0-0-0---------|
E|-x/-0---000-0-0---x/--------------.-.-.---------|
1b)
This is just a variation of the main riff, this is where
Mille fucks around with the whammy bar.

A|-x/-2(dive w/bar)-x/--0---0-0-0-0-0-0-0---------|

Basically the same as the main riff, but with palm-muting.
