Favourite riffs

[Carnage]

Listening to some Candlemass on the walk in, the main riff in If I Ever Die and the verse riff in Lucifer Rising are mighty.

[Blackout]

.

[Melmoth]

MGLA - Exercises in Futility VI

When it kicks in after the clean guitar intro always sounds powerful

[Carnage]

The opening riff to this is simple but great, a bit Candlemassy IMO:

Cannibal Corpse: Staring Through The Eyes of The Dead.    (Strange yet compelling riff).

[Eoin McLove]

So many savage riffs on that album.

[Barrytron]

Agreed. An Experiment in Homicide has so many deadly parts and riffs. The Pick Ax Murders also has a great simple main riff!

Classic riff for me is this. It's part bassline and part riff but it's great
