i keep meaning to blitz through everything from NO EXIT onward again though. i did that once but i'm a lot more open minded these days.

Trouble definitely has better riffs than all other doom metal. I was so disappointed initially when exploring doom metal, since my dad already had a fair amount of Trouble on CD but little else. Helps that some of their riffs are almost thrash metal.

Almost thrash metal? Example if you could.

OK, I like Trouble a lot but come on, man. Candlemass with Well of Souls, Demon's Gate, Solitude and Dark are the Veils of Death? Those easily match their riffs.

The Wolf has some thrashish guitar riffs

Towards the end of RIP also

Candlemass is all about their vocalists, other than that eh

 

[CiG]

Well, Candlemass did pretty much invent epic doom metal and epic doom metal is about as far removed from the intentions of thrash metal as you can get.

Let me listen to the aforementioned tracks.

 

[Baroque]

Trouble - END for sure has a thrash riff. Straight off of a Megadeth album.

[CiG]

I adore Saint Vitus, one of my favourite bands of all time.

 

[Baroque]

Saint Vitus is alright, sort of a Not as good Sabbath if you ask me. Overrated but some of their stuff is enjoyable

i dont think saint vitus and sabbath should be compared too closely

They're not so similar to Black Sabbath that I think that's a fair comparison. There actually aren't many doom metal bands that sound like Saint Vitus in my opinion, unless of course they're a newer band purposely copying them.

I'm not saying that no other doom metal has great riffs, but Trouble wins easily both in quantity and quality. The main Black Stone Wielder riff is the only Candlemass riff I would say is on par with the best Trouble riffs. I prefer Epicus on the whole to any Trouble album, but individually the riffs are still merely good (and some of their best riffs were borrowed from Trouble anyways).

 

[CiG]

Solitude Aeturnus have some really mean riffs.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

That's true too. Their early stuff was actually pretty genre-bending at least for the time and style; mixed in with the epic doom you had USPM, thrash sections, and even a few death metal riffs, and usually with a prog slant too.
