The main riff in The Sea Came in at Last - Vader

SHIT YES. This song is overlooked, but is by far the best song on The Beast. The main riff just has immense power that pummels everything.
 
yea, I know I'm under the risk of flamming, but I love the riffs in the start of As I Lay Dying song "94 hours". They are simple but really nice to listen to.
