Song

To Eve The Art Of Witchcraft - Cradle of Filth

`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'

One of the best songs on the album... too bad that the guitars are so murky.

Anyway, apart from one or two really hard-to-hear bits (ie: the solo at the

end), this version is pretty damn close to the original. Once again, synth to

guitar sucks so I haven't done it, but it's so simple even my little cousin

could figure it out. Mail to Wither at brunor@sggs.wcape.school.za

Solo: If you can call it that... anyway, I'm not too confident about this

so any corrections would be appreciated. Listen to the recording for

the timing... I don't have the inclination to space it all.
