Death - A Moment of Clarity

The intro!

 

[Personified Hatred]

there is probably a million songs that have kiler riffs but the first that comes to mind is youth gone wild by skid row.

only gonna name a few, can't name all my faves, otherwise I'd probably write a book...

Therion- Cthulhu (all the riffs in this song)
Immolation- Rival the Imminent (outro riff)
Sacramentum- Blood Shall be Spilled (harmonizing riffs near the end)
Fates Warning- Valley of the Dolls (riffs played during the chorus)
Arghoslent- The Banners of Castille (all the riffs too, but most notably the most triumphant one near the end)

 

[LORDEJAILBAIT]

I like the gallops that back up the guitar solo in Dragonforce's "Soldiers of the Wasteland"

I dunno, I just happen to be a huge fan of gallops for some strange reason.
