Greatest Death Metal Riffs

[ASD]

Can we just agree on everything by Bolt Thrower.

O hey looks guys! Its the first riff I ever learned! (fade in riff)

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Those are the same riffs bro. But yeah, I can agree with that.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Basically every riff in this song:

 

[Zephyrus]

 

[gravelurker]

 

[gravelurker]

[ASD]

Those are the same riffs bro. But yeah, I can agree with that.

Well, at least I can say that my first riff was a recurring song cycle Bolt Thrower riff, as opposed to Smoke On The Water.

People, people. Songs consist of many riffs. Posting a bunch of songs doesn't tell us which riffs you think are the greatest. You need to be specific.

 

[VelociBrad]

The opening riff to Dismember - Override of the Overture.

 

[Zephyrus]

The opening riff to Dismember - Override of the Overture.

and "Dismembered"

 

[Inso]

The opening riff to Dismember - Override of the Overture.

Absolutely, that one gets me every time, its fantastic.

 

[FJChaos]

The main riff to "Behind Space" by In Flames always gives me that invincible feeling.

 

[CF87]

Morbid Way To Die!

 

[IntoPhagist]

From 2:27 on

 

[ASD]

Not strictly death metal in a traditional sense, but I think both Crimson and Crimson II by Edge Of Sanity deserve mentions. Both of those are huge, epic riff-fests.

Miasma - Schizophrenia? and Death - Pull the Plug; main riffs are everything that is death metal. Otherwise there are thousands of great riffs.
