The verse is just a variation on this same material. In this way, the riff simultaneously reinforces and undermines the stability of the song’s tonal center, resulting in an ominous feeling of foreboding. The riff maintains its stability by returning to the two driving 8 th notes on the low open C, which are often given extra emphasis by the use of an open string C power chord from the guitar. The tritone is the interval between the notes Ab (the Red 8) and D (the Yellow 7), and has a distinctly dissonant, unstable character.
