Deathhammer unashamedly ripped off that "Barracuda" riff on their last album.

[Pentagrimes]

Forgive me if it's been mentioned cos my phone won't show videos in this thread,but the date just reminded me of "4th of July" by Sound Garden. Those verse riffs are their absolute best work

Isn't that a Matt Cameron song too?

[Pentagrimes]

Oh I didn't know know that, cool. I did read somewhere it was their collective favourite Soundgarden song.

"I Awake" has a belter riff too. Simple but hypnotic

[Pentagrimes]

Exodus have an embarassment of riches over the first three albums but the main riff from this once they get going might be their most demented

And the riff that comes in about 0:49 here

Equally class, and I've mentioned them before, but early Prong is right up there for some insane riffs, I suspect Exodus may have influenced them actually
The fast riff in this for example

This is full of them,as is the whole "Force Fed" album in fairness:

And if you can find me a heavier breakdown (much as I hate that word) in all of thrash history than the riff at 1.49, then fair play. It makes me want to smash things

[Pentagrimes]

Fuck it, one more. 0:37

Always loved the main riff for this one -

[Sworntothecans]

Another album of banger!

[astfgyl]

Those Prong albums up there are full to the neck of savage riffs. Here's another one from them, from Cleansing this time:

Ah here I fucked up the youtube link.

It's track 4 - Cut Rate

One before the verse is savage

[astfgyl]

Double post

[Bürggermeister]

Even the later stuff had the odd banger riff

The riff that comes in around 1.50 in this track is mint -
