Top 50 Riffs in Extreme Metal

[Black Friday]

No Morbid Angel, No Atheist, and too little Death = fail.

 

[Caecius]

There is one Morbid Angel song. #34

 

[waif]

It's bad enough that a lot of those aren't even extreme metal, but Black Flag are not a metal band.

Also, this list doesn't have the main riff of AA - Death in Fire or Behemoth - Conquer All (yes written by Anthrax I know)

 

[Ross]

but WAIF, the dragons flight across the waves is the best aa song.

ALSO i think at the gates have better riffs, blinded by fear isnt bad by any means but there is better imho

 

[waif]

wrongo about AA.
And yeah, they've got better.

 

[~Neurotica]

best riffs+solos:

Carcass - Heartwork
Mercyful Fate - Burning The Cross
Bolt Thrower - The Killchain
Slumber - Distress
Gods Tower - Twilight Sun

 

[Ross]

sepultura - inner self

 

[Xorv]

Sunn O))))







wat

 

[Omni]

Von and Ildjarn actually definitely have the best riffs. I bet nobody else can play those.

 

[Xorv]

They forest metal?

 

[Omni]

Ildjarn's music is all about forests and mountain valleys, if that's what you mean. However, I don't think you'd like it.

 

[Xorv]

whatever I'm open to everything, and I mean everything

 

[whiskey funeral]

Ildjarn's the maddest cunt tbh.

 

[Omni]

Listen to Forest Poetry. You'll know within 30 seconds if you like his music.

 

[Slayed Necros]

As far as perfect Black Metal riffs go:

Bathory - Enter the Eternal Fire (If you don't know the riff I'm talking about you're a fucking asshole)
Master's Hammer - Vecny Navrat 0:59 - 1:10
Master's Hammer - Zapalili Jsme Onen Svet 0:00 - 1:12
Gorgoroth - Crushing the Scepter (Regaining a Lost Dominion) 0:32 - 1:18
Gorgoroth - Maaneskyggens Slave 3:04 - 3:24
Gorgoroth - Gorgoroth - 0:15 - 1:57

 

[General Zaroff]

Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas (first riff)

Makes me orgasm every time.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Enter the Eternal Fire is the best black metal song, period.

 

[mutantllama]

Transylvanian Hunger-Darkthrone

[Zephyrus]

Summoning - "Lugburz" is up there.

 

[The Butt]
