Haha, this song's the coolest. You pretty much have to listen to the recording
to get everything in time. I'll try to keep things as unconfusing as possible.
GONGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Part A (Up til the vocals yell "MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!")
For a sound like in the song, add some delay.
I also like to PALM MUTE the whole part.

PM . . . .
Take a break here while the scary voice names characters. After the next "MORTAL KOMBAT!!!" play:
Part B (x3) (Part A is layered on top 1x)
Part C (use only the first half's ending. Just listen to the recording.)
Take another break during the "Test your might" part. Then he names characters again. Then:
Part B (x4) (Part A is layered on top 2x now)
Part C
Part D (Bridge?) Listen closely...

GONGGGGGGGGGGGGG
End!
If you want to add a little more OOOMPH to Part B (as I like to when it comes in after Part D),
just change it into power chords, like this:
