    Alexi wrote so many amazing riffs throughout the Bodom discography, and Red Light Is definitely a great pick. If I'm thinking great deep cut riffs for them, even though the first 3 albums are usually my go-tos, one of the first that comes to mind is Hold Your Tongue from I Worship Chaos.

    Since you've add the Dark eternal riff, I would've also add the enemy inside.. SICK song, with not only an amazing riff but the melody of that song man , it gives me shivers!!

    Dude, seabeast, and most of the rest of Leviathan have some of my all-time favorite riffs.

    The riff at 5:55 in Nevermore's This Godless Endeavor has been one of my favorite riffs for a looooong long time.

    epic vid matey! man I love that solar, the green inlay sets it off so well! edit: how do you find playing it in the classical position whilst plugged it, in regard to the input jack positioning, does the lead poke into your leg or is it not an issue? cheers in advance!
