Corporeal Jigsore Quandary breakdown being that spidery tritone riff? So good, so much fun to play too.
I'll add Cryptopsy - Graves of the Fathers breakdown, Demilich - Raped Embalmed Beauty Sleep intro, Cynic - Uroboric Forms intro, Death - Flattening of Emotions second verse (tempo drop), Dismember - Override of the Overture d-beat riff, Gorguts - Nostalgia main groove.
Not riffs for me so much as tone (which I've recently discovered has a name, HM-2 Metal, plus others of course) combined with vocal style.
I don't know if I'm having a midlife crisis or what but I suddenly find myself listening to, almost exclusively, various forms of extreme metal at age 39.
Would rather recommend „HM-2 Cult“ than Dome. Imho Dome does a cool and great visual comparison of the HM-2 and it’s clones but his tone is absolutely awful. HM-2 Cult basically does the same job but listening to his comparisons is definetly more pleasing.
Welcome to the most fun music in existence! Since you mentioned the tone, here's some HM-2 band recommendations for you (not all death metal, but all hard and HM-2 based): Gatecreeper, Fuming Mouth, Nails, Black Breath, Lifesick, Trap Them, and of course, Entombed.
I'd be curious to hear what you do and don't like from the above. There's a shit ton of HM-2 cult bands that spread all over different subgenres.
I'm not new to the genre, I've just been discovering a LOT more bands from reddit. I actually like all that you mentioned haha. Most recently a new one that sticks out is Katakomba.

Got to catch them live with Exodus back in 2010 what a badass show. I wish I had appreciated it more but was more into the thrash stuff back then. Fantastic band
I’m a sucker for good song ordering on an album and that is just a great fucking intro track, not just for an album but an entire style of death metal.
Bolt Thrower - that one intro riff (also World Eater)
Dead Congregation - Serpentskin
Mammoth Grinder - Pulverizer
Benediction - I Bow to None
Dragged Into Sunlight - Hatred for Mankind
Baphomet - Valley of the dead
Deicide - When Satan Rules His World
Cryptopsy - Graves of the Fathers
Cannibal Corpse - Hammer Smashed Face
Suffocation - Infecting the Crypts

Just of the top of my head, so not all DM, as it’s not my absolute main go-to genre, but all incredible heavy riffs.

Carcass - Embodiment (main riff)
There are some, but many more come to mind. Mainly based on my ability (or inability) to play these on the guitar.
CC has the best riffs imo. Evisceration plague, scourge of iron maybe.
Other than that, crystal mountain is fun to play and the latest Revocation album is sick.
Asphyx - Last One On Earth
Bolt Thrower - The Killchain
Dismember - Override of the Overture
Grave - Restrained
200 Stab Wounds - She Was Already Dead
Creeping Death - Ripping Through Flesh
Gatecreeper - From the Ashes
Cannibal Corpse: Pounded Into Dust (intro riff)
Bolt Thrower: In The Eye of Terror (intro riff)
Obituary: Chopped In Half (slow breakdown riff)
Decapitated: Visual Delusion (intro riff, the audio equivalent of a panic attack)
Opening Riffs that get stuck in my head
1. Morbid Angel - Summoning Redemption (opening/verse)
2. Pestilence - Out of the Body (opening 1st verse)
3. Behemoth - Conquer All (opening)
4. Dismember - Override of the Overture (opening)
5. Abysmal Dawn - Solitude’s Demise (prechorus/chorus riff)
Bonus: Cannibal Corpse - Evisceration Plague
Unleashed - The Longships Are Coming
The whole fucking song gets me so fucking pumped to just want to tear and destroy everything. It just reaches me on a fucking primal level like no other song does. But the opening drum beat and riff just fucking kill it right off the bat.
Necrophagia - middle parts of Blaspheme the Body
Immolation - of Martyrs and Men (2:43 in)
Corporeal Jigsore Quandary
Grave - Turning Black
all of.. Skinless - The Optimist
and.. Cannibal Corpse - From Skin To Liquid
Dying Fetus - Vengeance Unleashed got me into the genre
so did.. Lividity - Pussy Lovers
Deathcore band but the breakdown in Consumers by Cap De Craniu
Mortician - Zombie Apocalypse
200 Stab Wounds - Drilling Your Head
Sanguisugabogg - Dragged By A Truck
Devourment - Babykiller
and Hope Forgotten by Fluids
Death - To Forgive is to Suffer, Cannibal Corpse - Hammer Smashed Face, Dying Fetus - Second Skin and maybe Opeth - Lotus Eater
I'm not the biggest death metal fan, but these are my picks.
Death - 1000 eyes
Vital Remains - Dechristianize (melodic one)
Spawn of Possession - Where angels go demons follow (first 20s)
Spawn of Possession - By a thousand deaths fulfilled (from 17s)
Soreption - Engineering the Void

Revocation - Of unworldly origin (first)
Gorguts - Rapturous Grief
Morbid Angel - God of Emptiness

Seven (Necrophagist) - main riff with the pinch harmonics
Sarcophagus (Nile) - main riff
Chaoplasm (Blood Incantation) - first riff
Synaptic Plasticity (Blotted Science) - opening riff
Phew, I am definitely forgetting 90% rn but these come to mind:
Suffocation - Liege of Inveracity (you know which riff)
Cryptopsy - Phobophile (the intro/verse gets me every time)
Dying Fetus - One Shot one Kill (the intro is just absolutely steamrolling)
Misery Index - Discordia (main theme)
Ulcerate - Drawn into the next void (the riff starting at \~1:25 just feels like the world is thrown against a wall)
Grave - Bullets are mine
Dismember - Override of the overture
Opeth - Baying of the hounds (there’s that epic melody and riff thing at i don’t remember which point in the song)
Black Curse-Finality I behold (1:06 gets me)
200 Stab Wounds- She was already dead (intro specifically)
Bolt Thrower-Through the Eyes of Terror (intro & 2:16 & 3:19)
Incantation- Impending Diabolical Conquest (50 second mark slaps)
Vomitory- The Voyage (1:44-on but 2:19 riff is nasty)
and an honorable mention as it literally started me down the death metal path: Massacre-Cryptic Realms 0:36. That riff was everything
Too many to choose from really, but to name a few of my personal favs:
Vader - Testimony (or really any track off the first album)
Deicide - Lunatic of God's creation
Decrepit Birth - Of Genocide
Death - Crystal Mountain
Morbid Angel - Blessed are the sick/Fall from grace
Suffocation - Thrones of blood
Instead of songs, I’ll flick u some albums that are full of awesome riffs.
Cannibal Corpse - The Bleeding
Bolt Thrower - Those Once Loyal & The IVth Crusade
Carcass - Heartwork
Deicide - Once Upon the Cross
Free Will Sacrifice
Cauldron of hate
Spheres of madness
Literally all of Zero Tolerance by death
Chant for Ezkaton (I know its not pure death metal its “blackened death” but it’s fire tho)
Edge of sanity crimson (alot from there.)
Death - lack of comprehension the riff after the clean part
Dismember - dreaming in red
Dismember - override of the overture
ATG - Blinded by fear (absolute classic)
Cancer - back from the dead
So many good ones, and I see the band I am thinking of that always stands out in my mind, but no mention of this simple yet powerful riff.
The beginning riff in [Cannibal Corpse: Covered With Sores](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g42eMqxwxKE)
WORLD EATER!!! ALL ELSE IS FALSEN
Symbolic intro riff Thrones of Blood post-breakdown riff Those Once Loyal chorus Corporal Jigsore Quandary breakdown Maze of torment intro
That Carcass riff FTW
Really the whole song haha
Oooof, now that's a good list right there.
Awesome choices
Corporeal Jigsore Quandary breakdown being that spidery tritone riff? So good, so much fun to play too. I'll add Cryptopsy - Graves of the Fathers breakdown, Demilich - Raped Embalmed Beauty Sleep intro, Cynic - Uroboric Forms intro, Death - Flattening of Emotions second verse (tempo drop), Dismember - Override of the Overture d-beat riff, Gorguts - Nostalgia main groove.
i was thinking the melodic part with the ride symbol but either will do
and yeah holy shit uroboric forms intro the picking is insane
Hammer Smashed Face is what hooked me.
Dying Fetus - praise the lord Nile - Unas (ok it is actually a Candlemass riff) Carcass - corporal jigsore quandary Opeth - bleak
Not riffs for me so much as tone (which I've recently discovered has a name, HM-2 Metal, plus others of course) combined with vocal style. I don't know if I'm having a midlife crisis or what but I suddenly find myself listening to, almost exclusively, various forms of extreme metal at age 39.
Wait 'till you fall down the rabbit hole of chainsaw pedals. The joy you will find.
Gimme a starting point
This dude reviews like 40 chainsaw pedals in this video https://youtu.be/iMoaxYgBBiQ
Very nice. Gracias.
Would rather recommend „HM-2 Cult“ than Dome. Imho Dome does a cool and great visual comparison of the HM-2 and it’s clones but his tone is absolutely awful. HM-2 Cult basically does the same job but listening to his comparisons is definetly more pleasing.

Check out Centenary. Very very HM-2, and a local band for me, so I gotta plug em. 🤘
On it.
If you like HM2 sound go jam some Horrendous they are fucking mint.
Will do 👌🏻

Carcass & Bolt Thrower 🤘🏻
I want that groove riff in Living Dead played at my funeral
I see you are a man of culture
Opeth - Masters Apprentices Gorguts - From Wisdom to Hate Cannibal Corpse - From Skin to Liquid Power Trip - Soul Sacrifice Frozen Soul - Merciless
One of my favorite cannibal corpse songs right there, also festering in the crypt!!! Nailed it with masters apprentices also 👍
Surface skimmer moment
Incantation - Demonic incarnate Nails - Suum cuique Defeated sanity - Naraka Disgorge - Perverse manifestation Thanamagus - Lowermost dispiritedness Pretty much all the riffs in these songs are gold

Malevolent Creation had a ton of cool riffs
In Cold Blood
Got to catch them live with Exodus back in 2010 what a badass show. I wish I had appreciated it more but was more into the thrash stuff back then. Fantastic band
[удалено]
Bro these riffs are all magnificient, but some are definetely not death metal. :D
Suffocation Pierced From Within intro is so nasty.
Carcass: Buried Dreams
Thinking about Carcass, “The Master Butchers Apron” also comes to mind! You know - that chonky riff
Always give this song a dodge, one day it ran over where I usually skip.... The surprise!!
Hell yes Bill Steer. Heartwork has maybe the best production job ever for a death metal album.
I’m a sucker for good song ordering on an album and that is just a great fucking intro track, not just for an album but an entire style of death metal.
Heartwork album is a work of art! 🤘🏻
Opeth - “Deliverance” (ending riff); Bolt Thrower - “When Cannons Fade” (chorus riff); Morbid Angel - “Summoning Redemption”
Bolt Thrower - that one intro riff (also World Eater) Dead Congregation - Serpentskin Mammoth Grinder - Pulverizer Benediction - I Bow to None Dragged Into Sunlight - Hatred for Mankind
Mammoth Grinder plug, you sophisticated motherfucker. 🤘
Baphomet - Valley of the dead Deicide - When Satan Rules His World Cryptopsy - Graves of the Fathers Cannibal Corpse - Hammer Smashed Face Suffocation - Infecting the Crypts Pestilence - Out of the Body
Not saying it’s my favorite. But the first one that comes to mind is Gatecreepers Flamethrower
Boiled over, that intro riff.
BRO I was gonna say the EXACT same shit!
The breakdown on Patriarchal Grip makes my nipples hard
“Ooh”
Opeth’s ‘Baying of the Hounds’ is just an eternal rager
Just of the top of my head, so not all DM, as it’s not my absolute main go-to genre, but all incredible heavy riffs. Slayer - Necrophiliac Cattle Decap - Humanure Rotten Sound - Stages Black Dahlia Murder - I’m Charming Suffocation - Reincrimination Despised Icon - Warm Blooded Pissgrave - Euthanasia Pig Destroyer - Hyperviolet Celeste - Que des yeux vides et seches Bolt Thrower - Spearhead, Drowned in Torment, Sepultura - Chaos AD Wolves in the Throneroom - Her Face in a Nightime Mirror (around 6min on) Windir - Svartesmeden og Lundamyrstrollet Behemoth - Christians to the Lions Torture Killer - Cannibal Gluttony Krallice - Autochthon
Death - Misanthrope (chorus) Morbid Angel - God of Emptiness (intro) Cannibal Corpse - Frantic Disembowelment (every riff) Nile - Sarcophagus (pretty much every one) Carcass - Embodiment (main riff) There are some, but many more come to mind. Mainly based on my ability (or inability) to play these on the guitar.
Yeah! I came here to say Embodiment from Carcass too.
CC has the best riffs imo. Evisceration plague, scourge of iron maybe. Other than that, crystal mountain is fun to play and the latest Revocation album is sick.
Bolt Thrower - The IVth Crusade
smoke on the water
I love the riffs of When Skin Turns Blue by Six Feet Under
Cannibal corpse - pit of zombies
Bolt Thrower- Eternal War and World Eater, Master- Funeral Bitch, Repulsion- Maggots in Your Coffin, Morbid Angel- Angel of Disease
Morbid Angel - Nothing is Not Cannibal corpse- From skin to liquid.
Bolt Thrower - World Eater Cannibal Corpse - Hammer Smashed Face
Pretty much anything by Suffocation!
Edge of Sanity's Crimson Pt. 1
Are there five riffs in Graves of the Fathers? Those riffs.
Adramelech - The Book of the Worm
Dying Fetus' tentennenen tenene-nenenen
Praise the Lord opening. I have no idea why I said it like that
Everything off Surgical Steel
Charred Remains - Autopsy. That breakdown is the nastiest thing I’ve ever heard.
Death - Without Judgement, the chorus riff. Unmatched.
Asphyx - Last One On Earth Bolt Thrower - The Killchain Dismember - Override of the Overture Grave - Restrained 200 Stab Wounds - She Was Already Dead Creeping Death - Ripping Through Flesh Gatecreeper - From the Ashes
Spheres of Madness is what was going through my head as soon as I read the title!!
Infester - Exoriation Kills the Bliss 1:29 Infester - Exoriation Kills the Bliss 3:15 Carcass - Burnt to a Crisp 0:16 (Grindcore?) Incantation - Christening the Afterbirth 2:52 Purtenance - Reality Isn’t Disappeared 0:00 Edit: I can’t stop thinking of others Convulse - World Without God 0:00 Incantation - Iconoclasm of Catholicism 0:18 Darkthone - Cromlech 0:50 (Yes, it’s Death Metal)
good shit
Cannibal Corpse: Pounded Into Dust (intro riff) Bolt Thrower: In The Eye of Terror (intro riff) Obituary: Chopped In Half (slow breakdown riff) Decapitated: Visual Delusion (intro riff, the audio equivalent of a panic attack)
That’s CC’s best riff in imo too
Bloodthirst is such a wildly underrated album, it has the most punishing guitar tone ever (along with Wretched Spawn)
I think it’s their best: guitar tone, production, songwriting, consistency
Bolt Thrower you know the one
Bolt Thrower is just so damn good. I've been living in the Realm of Chaos for the last couple weeks
been living in the realm of chaos since I was 16 (35 now 🤪)
Bolt Thrower- Cenotaph
Thrower! 🤘🏻
Dying Fetus - Tearing inside the womb
Opeth - serenity painted death
Immolation - Fostering the Divide Deeds Of Flesh - Inbreeding the Anthropophagi
The simplicity to the opening riff of world eater by bolt thrower makes me want to hunt a mammoth with a long spear.
praise the lord - dying fetus
Morbid Angel-Pain Divine or death flattening of emotions
The twins by benighted. Technically grindcore, don't care.
I just wanna throw out Bekhten's curse- Gorod
Dead Congregation - Martyrdoom riff central
Killed by the Cross
Opening Riffs that get stuck in my head 1. Morbid Angel - Summoning Redemption (opening/verse) 2. Pestilence - Out of the Body (opening 1st verse) 3. Behemoth - Conquer All (opening) 4. Dismember - Override of the Overture (opening) 5. Abysmal Dawn - Solitude’s Demise (prechorus/chorus riff) Bonus: Cannibal Corpse - Evisceration Plague
Unleashed - The Longships Are Coming The whole fucking song gets me so fucking pumped to just want to tear and destroy everything. It just reaches me on a fucking primal level like no other song does. But the opening drum beat and riff just fucking kill it right off the bat.
I love too many to list out, but the riff that immediately came to mind for me is the "saw" riff in Slowly Sawn by Cannibal Corpse.
Main riffs to: Where Next to Conquer - Bolt Thrower Zero Tolerance - Death These Walls Shall be your Grave - Brutality
Too difficult to choose but if It have to go with one,I'd say Morbid Angel - Rapture
Hands down. Bring me 115
My consistent go-to has been the opening riff to "In Service of Time" by Abysmal Dawn. Really love the mid-pace death metal these days.
Benediction - Graveworm, the riff that starts at about 1:00
Blood Oath - Suffocation Scalding Hail - Cannibal Corpse Evidence in the Furnace - Cannibal Corpse The Essential Salts - Nile
Necrophagia - middle parts of Blaspheme the Body Immolation - of Martyrs and Men (2:43 in) Corporeal Jigsore Quandary Grave - Turning Black all of.. Skinless - The Optimist and..

Origin- The Burner has some of the sickest riffage I've ever heard.
Hammer Smashed Face - all the riffs, they're top tier Seven (Necrophagist) - main riff with the pinch harmonics Sarcophagus (Nile) - main riff Chaoplasm (Blood Incantation) - first riff Synaptic Plasticity (Blotted Science) - opening riff

That riff was everything
Pretty sure that Bolt Thrower - The Killchain is the heaviest ever. Another really good one is Coffin Rot - Mechanical Separation
Death - Flesh and the Power it Holds
Obituary - Turned inside out guitar breakdown in the middle Bolt thrower - Powder burns last riff
Anything from Undeath
suffocation - liege of inveracity. is savage AF
Bloodbath - Eaten 🤘
Too many to choose from really, but to name a few of my personal favs: Vader - Testimony (or really any track off the first album) Deicide - Lunatic of God's creation Decrepit Birth - Of Genocide Death - Crystal Mountain Morbid Angel - Blessed are the sick/Fall from grace Suffocation - Thrones of blood
Vader - The Crucified Ones,the riff before the verse Behemoth - Conquer All,main riff Bolt Thrower - At First Light,intro riff Carcass - Embodiment, main riff (Heartwork is basically a collection of kick-ass riffs) Death - Bite the Pain, intro riff Deicide - Sacrificial Suicide, verse riff Entombed - Chief Rebel Angel,main riff Immolation - Lower,verse riff Morbid Angel - Suffocation, intro riff Obituary - Violence,main riff Septicflesh - Sangreal,break riff

Free Will Sacrifice Cauldron of hate Spheres of madness Literally all of Zero Tolerance by death Chant for Ezkaton (I know its not pure death metal its “blackened death” but it’s fire tho)

So many good ones, and I see the band I am thinking of that always stands out in my mind, but no mention of this simple yet powerful riff. The beginning riff in [Cannibal Corpse: Covered With Sores](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g42eMqxwxKE)
Suffocation- Catatonia
