"The Bloodlands" by Cannibal Corpse Off of the album "Vile" Tabbed by Chris Rezendes Many people consider this song to be the best Cannibal Corpse song with Corpse Grinder, many others consider it to be the best Cannibal Corpse song period. After I tabbed this song, I had to agree, as this song truly showcases the supreme talent of the guitarists, and, as a guitarist, I can say after this song, that Cannibal Corpse are now up there with Slayer (perhaps even beyond?) in the art of riffing. Some parts of the tablature are bound to be wrong, and any corrections or comments are welcome and encouraged and can be sent to dadmcbad@hotmail.com. Tune to a drop Db (which means to drop D and then tune down half a step).
