(4x) Riff B (6x) Riff C (13x) Riff D (2x) Riff E (8x) Riff C (8x) Riff D (2x) Riff E (8x) Riff F (6x) Covenant is from the best black metal projects on earth ... This album "In times before the light" is really a masterpiece , I find great art in their tracks . Their melodic black metal riffs are really outstanding , with the keyboards making a great atmosphere combining melody with agressiveness ... Listen to the track for more accurate timings . The tab is complete and all riffs are present . Good Luck :))) Transcribed by Ramy Sidky (Tragic Darkness) , and all corrections , comments and suggestions are welcomed at ramy_petrucci@dreamtheater.zzn.com
