Riff Analysis 016 - Gorguts "Forgotten Arrows"

In which I argue that there are some cool thwarted symmetries in both form and harmony in this Gorguts riff.

Found out from the comments that Luc Lemay did not in fact write this song (Colin Marston did), my apologies. Still some cool techniques that Luc does use in other places.

I tried transcribing this myself but decided this tab on UG was better than what I came up with, so that's what I used:
