Best HEAVY riffs?

[-42-]

Doom doomie.

 

[TheMasterplan]

I'm usually pretty anti-breakdown, but A) Cephalic Carnage is always awesome and B) For some reason this one just makes me "bree" along in my car.



(3:12 and on)

 

[JeffFromMtl]

 

[Chri]

The entire song is sick, but 1:00 is just

 

[JeffFromMtl]

And one I forgot

 

[Cyntex]

 

[Ricky Roro]

Call me crazy, I think this is awesome.
Also,


At about :35


EDIT: fixed the videos

 

[Chopsession]

I love the low-end chuggy stuff myself, but this has to be one of the heaviest riffs ever conceived...



It still holds up today in the heavy department. The riff begins at 4:36, just listen to that bass-line, it just oozes a slick, doomy feel. And at standard tuning, this proves that you don't need to tune down do heavy.

 

[Chopsession]

"retardjent" Haha!

 

[Defsan]

3:20 after "tell your stepfather I said so". The opening power chord, and the heavier part after the slides completely destroyed me the first time I listened to it.



0:36, breakdown-ish riff.

 

[Infamous Impact]

No one can resist whalecore. (6:23)

0:23

Whole thing.

Epic intro.

 

[spattergrind]

LOVE the main riff of this song^

You could just listen to Lamb of God.
...at least thats what I thought when I heard it.

But seriously what about LOG's riffs?

 

[spattergrind]

2:45 I love the way that riff feels.


4:22, there's alot of good riffs to post from DI


Ya I know its IDW but that intro riff is so damn heavy!


Alot of people dont know this band, but they are one of my favorite bands ever. Same members were in a band called FATE (also amazing). Their groove and sound is unmatched. I love it so much.

Pretty much any VoM, Waves of babies main riff, etc.

 

[niffnoff]

Try not to headbang at 2:55, I DARE YOU!

It appears I lost.

 

[Cmv120]

I have to give this band props. They aren't really too heavy but that beginning riff is great. The singing at 3:00 gives INSTANT wood as well. Great song, great album

But because this thread is titled "HEAVY" riffs, gonna have to go with my favorite guitarist. After listening to the (pretty bad) intro for a whole minute, that riff raped my ears.

 

[groph]

@ 1:15



@ 1:10 and 1:58. Those punches make me want to snap necks. This entire song is pretty fucking heavy in general.

EDIT: Electric Wizard and that stoner doom stuff is fucking awesome too. Different kind of heavy, definitely more atmospheric. I need to listen to that shit some more.

 

[Ikiharmaa]

I guess everyone has their own interpretation of heavy', but old Black Sabbath -esque riffs are still 'the' heavy riffs for me. for me the best heavy riff [FONT=&quot]≠[/FONT]. . heaviest riff



older Amoral is sick stuff, I just never remember where are the good heavy riffs when most of their riffs are so kickass.

 

[espman]

1:30


All of it


Intro

 

[MikeH]

It's safe to assume that Gojira is heavy.

 

[ittoa666]

Bow down to the heaviness that is this song.



Also, downpicking for that long is painful to listen to.
