There's a couple of riffs on D that are just C and B riffs played backwards.

Parts of the song reversed and the riffs were used for Nothing is Not.

The solo contains 3 different parts which are palindromes. I assume this is intentional.

I first discovered Trey reusing riffs and playing them backwards in 1996 using my tascam 4 track. I played visions from the darkside backwards and it sounded like pain divine. For 27 years I assumed this was just a coincidence. But now I am unearthing a treasure trove of secrets. If Morbid Angel's songs/albums sounded the same, I would say this is a lazy way to make riffs. But since Trey can make them sound so different, its genius. I never would have connected the dots between where the slime and nothing is not. Nor blasphemy to rapture, or any of the other songs in which reversed riffs were used.

Which riff is the nothing is not riff? I think the last riff on nothing is not that keeps slowing down is kinda like solo riff on slime but not sure.
