This should be entirely correct, transcribed from Northlane's own playthrough video.
I think the only mistakes might be some of the attack notes on the chorus and some of
the timings on the chugging parts.

Same as the intro but hold those end 5s and the 8 switches to a 9

The bends aren't straight up bends but more sustain the note and make it sound more distinct
than the double notes

Basically exactly the same but go back to the intros harsh stops on the notes.
And thats it!
