Memorable riffs

[_SLAYERIZED_]

riffs in thrash metal are the best!

Such as old slayer. Black Magic, South of HEaven and especially Raining blood the most annihilating riff ever to me!

also bands like assassin or exumer did great riffs...

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

Satyricon - Forhekset (opening riff) my favorite riff of all time probably
Soilwork - Millionflame (chorus and verse riffs)
Decapitated - Human's Dust (opening riff)
Aeternus - Burning The Shroud (opening riff)
Arcane Sun - Longing For Eden's Rain (the whole song)
Darkane - July 1999 (opening riff)
Nevermore - Dead Heart, In A Dead World (verse riff)

I probably forgot a bunch of great riffs.

 

[Spirit In Black]

Suffocation - Torn Into Enthrallment (after the intro)
Immolation - Close to a World Below (the slow opening and finishing riff)
