End of song.  "Seasons" is an easy song to play, especially on bass.
Tom Araya plays with a pick, even on mid tempo songs.  To have a Slayer
bass sound you should keep treble about 5 or middle of treble gauge.
Same thing goes with the bass gauge.  Tom has a sound on this album that
is not too heavy yet not too clean.  Also, to play the song better, play
along with bass drum.  Since you can't hear the bass too well, the bass
drum is your best source of rhythm.
