Brodequin - Methods of Execution - Guitar Tablature Download

Released in 2004 on Unmatched Brutality Records, Methods of Execution is a masterclass in relentless, abrasive death metal that documents history’s most savage punishments. Now, for the first time, you can dissect the chaos of three of its most infamous tracks—each transcribed for the guitarist who demands nothing less than total brutality.

TRACK-BY-TRACK: HISTORICAL HORROR, TECHNICAL SAVAGERY

Verdrinken
Dutch for “to drown,” this track draws from the darkest corners of European history: medieval drowning pits for female convicts, the infamous witch “swimming test” (where floating meant guilt and sinking meant death), and the Inquisition’s water cure torture. The music mirrors this suffocating fate—dense, down-tuned riffs that pull you under with no hope of surfacing.

Cast Into Torment
Inspired by the oubliettes and underground pits of medieval torture chambers—where victims were cast through trapdoors into darkness, left to suffer in isolation and despair. Nuremberg and Salzburg’s water pits, designed for prolonged agony, echo in the song’s relentless structure. Every measure is mapped for those who want to master true musical torment.

Slaves to the Pyre
The album’s opener, rooted in the Roman tunica molesta (a flammable tunic for slow, agonizing death) and the medieval tradition of burning heretics, slaves, and captives at the stake. This track is a public execution in sonic form.
