This is my guitar cover of “Murderotica” by Norma Jean, a track from their masterpiece album “O’ God, The Aftermath”. For years, I’ve wanted to learn this song but could never find a tab that truly captured its essence-until I came across a video that inspired me to get closer to its execution.
“O’ God, The Aftermath” is, in my opinion, Norma Jean’s peak moment of creative freedom. From Chris Day’s and Scot Henry’s iconic riffs to Corey Brandan’s unmatched vocals, the entire band reached an unprecedented level of synergy. The album’s tuning, originality, and seamless cohesion make it a timeless work of art.
I’ve been lucky enough to own the original edition of the album, which includes a random DVD with chaotic behind-the-scenes footage of the recording process. While it doesn’t make much sense, it’s an iconic glimpse into their creative madness, and I’m working on digitizing it.
I remember listening to “Liarsenic” on my way home from work and arriving so full of adrenaline that my girlfriend thought I was on something! That’s the raw energy this album delivers, with tracks like “Murderotica”, “Liarsenic”, and “Scientifiction” standing out as pure masterpieces.
Apologies for the audio quality in this cover, but I’m just grateful to get closer to playing this insane track. Stay tuned for “Liarsenic”! I promise to do my best to make it sound even better.
Thank you for watching, and I hope you enjoy this tribute to one of the heaviest and most groundbreaking albums ever created.
Guitar tune: drop Db, but first string tuned on B to ejecute dissonance riffs.
