Riffs That Flatten Buildings

[tacotiklah]

4 pages and no mention of these guys? I haz a sad nao.
Seriously, these guys are the kings of writing amazingly heavy, seismic riffs. Particularly around the 1 minute mark of this song, it really shows how freakin' heavy they get.


Seeing this band play this song live has more than confirmed that this is one of the heaviest songs ever written:


Dat. Intro.


The first minute of this song is pretty crushing:


Even melodic death metal can be heavy as ....:


And I'll finish with this amazing verse riff:

 

[F1Filter]

This band was known for the occasional memorable riff or two.

 

[pondman]

Takes a long time to get going but rips your soul out through your arse when it does.

 

[Lives Once Abstract]

The intro to Within The Ruins latest album, Elite.

 

[CrownofWorms]

 

[NovaReaper]

1:30




str8 nuclear fallout music

 

[Metal-Box]

Pantera -- Becoming

Goddam, this song makes me want to level a building... with my speakers. Haha.

 

[zakattak192]

.... yes someone else here who likes Skeletal Remains

Also, this entire song.



Actually, everything by this band ever. Love them <3.

Just as the name implies, this song is ....ing insane:

 

[Fenriswolf]

And a song so badass it was on Spongebob

 

[Dan_Vacant]

This isn't so metal but I love it.

First Gojira song I heard, but most of their stuff sounds like a death ray.

And Dino makes lots of earth shaking riffs.


I should stop right now before I throw most of my favorites from youtube up.

 

[Blasphemer]

Another addition I realized while I was in the car today:
Meshuggah - Dancers To A Discordant System - YouTube

 

[Ed_Ibanez_Shred]

So awesome

 

[Tang]

Ladies and gentlemen, this fucking riff.



The best riff Morbid Angel never wrote.

*cough*wheretheslimelive*cough* I have to actively try to NOT write riffs like that.. just so much groove.

 

[Sketches]

 

[patata]

Pyrithion is ....in crushing.

The beggining chugs and 3:03 of Lethargica.Pretty much every Meshuggah song.Behemoth as well.

Our very own Kin Beneath Chorus(Thesaloniki,GR)

Couldn't agree more. The drive to my gym is exactly 10min, and this is the one song worthy enough to blare on that 10min drive. The outro is just genius to me. Very heavy and well-composed.

 

[The Spanish Inquisition]

Didn't take the time to look whether this was already posted. But if it isn't, be ashamed of yourselves.
