Nough said.
In addition: JohnIce is absolutely right. I can totally see this becoming an awesome thread.

That's what I have been listening too lately and has an awesome starting riff. Most songs in that record do but this particular one is just too awesome.
Emperor Guillotine
The Almighty Ruler
Best opening riffs:
"Override of the Overture" - Dismember (my top pick for now)
"The Swarm" - At the Gates
"Suicide Nation" - At the Gates
"Bleed" - Meshuggah (even though it is also the main riff)
And that Dark Tranquillity song that MGH beat me too.

This is before they'd really figured out how to put a song together, so the intensity of this riff is killed almost immediately.

Also, Lucretia and the killing road by Megadeth are up there, in my opinion.

The album "Nocturnal" by TBDM has some the nastiest, heaviest death metal openers ever. Something about the "bounciness" of the riffs on this album just get me going. Plus dat tooone.
