• Song:

    The Rape And Ruin Of Angels

  • Artist:

    Cradle Of Filth

Track: The Rape And Ruin Of Angels (Hosannas In Extremis)
Artist: Cradle of Filth
Transcribed: Nocturnal Heartbeat (ghostwhowalks@lightspeed.bc.ca)

1. Note that there may be mistakes, and I may play some parts differently
   from others. All corrections and suggestions are welcome.
 
2. As always with Cradle of Filth songs, there are keyboard intros
   and interludes. I have tried my best to capture the original
   sound with the guitar.

3. All the symbols used in this tablature:

pm: palm mute
* : play many times/ play the number of times mentioned
/ : slide
h : hammer on
p : pull off
+ : then (play the next part)

4. For those parts played more than once, please listen to the song itself.
   It should be simple to figure out how many times you need to play the
   part. And it goes the same for the case when the guitar plays thrills.

17. Bass solo. I tabbed this for guitar so I don't have to pick up a bass
in the middle of the song... (I don't even have one...) Play this through
out the middle keyboard section (first half of it).

Play this many times... how many? please listen to the song. Just keep
playing til you feel like stopping, and that should do it.  
 
22. I don't know if this is a keyboard or an electric guitar with a clean
tone. In any case, here it is. Play this along with 20, twice.
