[0:33: Section 2 - fifth chords]

[Guitar 1]

The full power chords seemed a little too bright, so maybe its just root/5 here.
There also might be a second, double-tracked guitar here playing roughly the same chords for 
extra heaviness.

exists of if he

[2:23: Section 6 - breakdown]

[Guitar 1]

This is probably actually an E7#9 here (think "Purple Haze")...
... but the full chord didn't sound right.

        E7#9?

[2:53 - Section 7 - solo]

Bend A to B a bunch. This is a really neat bending style here.
The bends appear to begin slow and then catch the note on time but in a sort of lazy, laggy 
fashion.

[3:08 - sweep picking part]

WTF these are extermeely fast sweep arpeggios!
Not yet good enough to listen/understand/play this.
Instead, riff around D major pentatonic scale/mixolydian mode and just keep soloing.

Give the drummer some! Sit back and enjoy the _lengthy_ drum solo *_*


[5:24: Section 10 - verse]

Screechy feedback noises to conjure the whales from the deep and supercharge your being.

Resonate to the sound vibrations
Emitting from within/without
Attune thyself to a radiating sphere of becoming
Growth is your heritage and destiny
Inherent disharmony troubles not
The symphony oooooofffffff...

...your sooooooooouuuuuuuulllllll
(your soul)
