From their excellent '98 album "Gallery of Suicide"
Tabbed by: Jason Mathie

Comments:
This song is played on seven-string guitars, I believe. The tuning is Bb.
I tune my six string to the lowest six, so Bb Eb Ab Db Gb Bb. Note the fourth
interval is between the 1st and 2nd strings rather than the 2nd and 3rd.
Generally one dash is a 16th note or a 32nd note in length, so either ----
or -------- is one beat.
Notation explanation:
-----------
-4:--12:--- Time signature changes. 12/8 is the same as 4/4 except
-4:---8:--- each beat is 1.5 quarter notes rather than 1.
-----------
-/= 3 =\-- Triplets. Play three notes in the space of two.
----------
--4"----- Tremolo pick. Pick the note evenly and very quickly.
---------
--<3>--- Pinch harmonic, with vibrato.

Play Riff A2 2x
Play Riff B, Both Gtrs let up palm mute for last 2 bars, RGtr dbl-picks
twice as fast for last 2 bars, and plays pinch harmonic at end
Riff C (speed up tempo)
I think the guitars on the album play something like this:
Bb|-----------------------------------|--------------------------------|
Gb|-----------14"-----10"-----11"-----|6"------7"------12"-----11\\\\\-|
Db|12:--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
Ab|-8:--------12"-----8"------9"------|4"------5"------10"-----9\\\\\\-|
Eb|-----------------------------------|--------------------------------|
Bb|---0------------strum-quickly------|--------------------------------|

Bb|-----------------------------------|--------------------------------|
Gb|-----------------------------------|--------------------------------|
Db|12:--------14"-----10"-----11"-----|6"------7"------13"-----12\\\\\-|
Ab|-8:--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
Eb|-----------12"-----8"------9"------|4"------5"------11"-----10\\\\\-|
Bb|---0------------strum-quickly------|--------------------------------|
But with one guitar this sounds close:
Bb|-----------------------------------|--------------------------------|
Gb|-----------14"-----10"-----11"-----|6"------7"------12"-----11\\\\\-|
Db|12:--------14"-----10"-----11"-----|6"------7"------13"-----12\\\\\-|
Ab|-8:--------12"-----8"------9"------|4"------5"------10"-----9\\\\\\-|
