thumbo Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Meshuggah - Stengah is up there for me, it springs to mind when I think of heavy riffs anyway. I also agree that the riff at the end of Diamond Eyes is monsterously heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifer Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Domination, origins of the chug breakdown in the middle. DERDERDUM DERDERDUM DERDERDUM DERDERDUM DUMDUMDUM DUMDUMDUM DUMDUMDUM Great Southern Trendkill gets my vote though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingus Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 To my ears and middle - aged sensibilities , a lot of the more modern super heavy bands that people are posting don't really hit the mark in the heavy riff stakes . It's all heavy and no riff . The short repeated phrase just isn't memorable enough . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameronj279 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 The last 2 sections of Vacuity by Gojira. seeing them live made Meshuggah seem like Katy Perry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panamonte Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Maybe not the heaviest thing ever (whatever that may be) but what happens from around 3.30 onwards in this song certainly made me sit up and pay attention when I first heard it. And when I heard it again just now. This registers pretty high on my heaviosity meter - it just sounds...er..heavy.

Skol303 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Looking forward to listening through all of these later on! My suggestion would be pretty much anything from Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (I think that's cropped up already). Not riff-based, but I once blew up a pair of speakers playing [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmYUlr599-I"]'LFO' by LFO[/url] at loud volume. That was certainly a heavy moment - be careful if you choose to give it a listen, the bass on it is beastly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifer Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I love 'Boris' by the Melvins, but that doesn't really have much 'riffage' as it is generally recognised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think a fascination with '[i]Pretentious, angular, obtuse and downright mental[/i]' music is a particularly 80's thing. I get the impression a lot of bassists here don't like stuff like Palais Schaumberg, DAF or even Stump. It just doesn't groove enough, or something like that, and it's got 'funny' noises in it.

Graham Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Backbone by Gojira is always the first one I think of in heaviest ever riff discussions but really anything by Lazarus Blackstar would probably win. I'll look for some links when I'm not on mobile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
