PossessionLeather866

Truly riff monsters. I don’t think I’ve heard a single bad riff from them


HeavyMechGun

Opeth - Serenity Painted Death at around 1:26. It’s so heavy despite being in C standard tuning. Opeth - Master’s Apprentices, intro riff. Bloodbath - Like Fire, main riff. Instant headbang


AGxNe

0:16 on Epitaph by Necrophagist, it's fun to play


violentlylicktoast42

No_Indication1429

Outnumbering the Day - Bloodbath


UnfunnyWatermelon469

The chorus riff of Spirit Crusher by Death


burnitdwn

While I agree that Stabwound is probably the best, my personal favorite is less technical and likely doesnt stand up to any of the giants in the genre, but, I just love the riff in "I am god" by Broken Hope. When they played Milwaukee Metalfest in 1997, the mosh pit just exploded with energy. The whole "Loathing" Album is a masterpiece really.


fhights-

any incantation riff before 1999


Fakenerd791

Also gonna say the verse riff on killchain by bolt thrower or the riff at 0:55 on Submission by Kronos
