[TurnTheAirBlue]

The bass breakdown in Morbid Angels 'Suffocation', filthy!!!

[Pedrito]

The opening riff on Domination and also on Day of Suffering by MA also. Like a kick in the nuts

[Tee]

On the Morbid Angel theme, the first fast riff in "Fall from grace" that has the blast beat has always been a favourite.

[Pedrito]

Yep it's amazing, what a band

[Giggles]

"Alchemy" by Brains from Cork is a good wee rocker https://brainscork.bandcamp.com/track/alchemy

It's far from my "favourite" riff, but it came into my head when I saw this thread and made me realise I haven't listened to it in about 6 years.

[ochoill]

Morbid Angel - Where The Slime Live (all of it)
Akercocke - Penance (from about

1:32)
Akercocke - Footsteps Resound In An Empty Chapel (from

2:20 but also the whole song is fuckin chock full of top shelf riffs)
Slabdragger - Shrine Of Debauchery (from

8:20 and also the whole song.  And the whole album.  Merciless)
Old Man Gloom - Shuddering Earth (

4:49)

Also lots already mentioned in this thread but a good few missed, will think of a couple more later when I'm not meant to be working

ILENKUS - Over the fire,under the smoke.
I never really listened to these guys before as I heard they were a hardcore band but I saw them at the siege and they are so much more than that. Picked up the album and it's bloody unreal. Definitely one of the finest albums I've heard from an Irish band.

[Nail_Bombed]

Helmet - In The Meantime. The chunkiness of it.

[Ducky]

Satyricon - Mother North.

Not a band I particularly care for, but that's a deadly riff.

Since they just got announced as the support for COC, I'm gonna throw in Spirit Adrift as my riff of the year at 3:56 of their track Angel & Abyss, pretty much the last three minutes of this song nearly gets me headbanging in my chair  .

[Carnage]

My Dying Bride: Like Gods Of The Sun is rifftastic, that main/verse riff is amazing.

[Ducky]

My Dying Bride: Like Gods Of The Sun is rifftastic, that main/verse riff is amazing.

A Kiss to Remember (especially the intro to it played on the bass) is a amazing.

[Ducky]
