• Song:

    Speed Of Blood

  • Artist:

    Gallhammer

  • Album:

    The Dawn Of...

This song is off their album Ill Innocence (2007).

Like with most of their work the guitar playing is pretty simple and not hard to learn. 
It's more about the rhythm.

There are basically two parts to the song: a tremolo picking part and a power-chord 
based riff.

. = palm mute

NOTE REGARDING TREMOLO PICKING:
I have only listed the notes you'll be playing. Tremolo pick each note.
It will be best if you simply listen to the song to learn the the duration & speed you 
need to play.
Listen to the drums in the song - each note should be tremolo picked for 4 beats.
Regardless all tremolo picking in the song lasts the same duration of time.

After that a fast pick slide leads into...

Pick slide again and back to tremolo picking...

For these final two tremolo picking parts it sounds like two guitars on the album but 
since there is only one guitarist in the band it is probably played like this (live any way):
