Notes
How to get there from the album's E♭ Standard: Every string down a whole step.
The one new original, a Kerry King song that starts as a slow, heavy dirge and speeds up. It is a whole step lower than the covers, two years before Diabolus in Musica.
The tab is in C♯ Standard (C♯ F♯ B E G♯ C♯), a whole step below the covers; it was first entered in B Standard and corrected to C♯ in 2020.
