    My grandma used to be such a huge fan of the HEAVIEST RIFF of all time. She would get in the pit, and during that riff she would mosh and mosh until she couldn't mosh anymore. She did this every day she was alive until the day that she died, which was sadly yesterday. I will miss granny June forever, and I will always remember her when the HEAVIEST RIFF of all time plays on the radio. Even though I am sad she is gone, I know that she's looking down on me from heaven, proud as ever, still listening to the HEAVIEST RIFF of all time.

    I mentioned it on the metal vocals video too, but To Sirius by Gojira has my favorite and heaviest-feeling to me riffs of all time. The back-and-forth heavy sections on the back half of the song are just completely nuts. The fact the very heaviest moment in the song comes while he's growling something like "dolphins from outer space will show us the way" is the icing on the cake. EDIT: Posted before I got to Tetrarch lol, their answers were also good.

    The heaviest riff for me is from knocked loose EP “A tear in the fabric of life”, the theme of that EP is so heavy especially with the animation of the accompanying visuals they put out with it. “God Knows” is when the full weight of guilt seems to hit the main character and when the coffin drops and the breakdown hits I think that’s what makes the riff hit so hard.

    It’s actually one of the finest metal songs of all-time and not enough people talk or know about it.

I think that’s the power of that double tritone in breakdown.

I wasn’t a Metallica fan at the time but I’m getting to respect them. The first heavy riff I ever really appreciated was Sick of It All ‘Burn the District’ and then more recently Suicide Silence’s ‘You only live once.’ Of course there were all the Cannibal Corpse albums, but anything mainstream that would be recognized today would be considered something more hard rock (unfortunately)

    I think the absolute heaviest riffs belong to the Doom/Sludge/Stoner genres. Sure, Death Metal is more "brutal" and crazier in general but for sheer heavy guitar riffs...I can think of so many from that sphere. Its a toss up between Electric Wizard - Barbarian Electric Wizard - Return Trip Electric Wizard - Dopethrone Crowbar - New Dawn Crowbar - To Build a Mountain Down - Bury me in Smoke Bongripper - Reefer Sutherland Conan - Satsumo Conan - Hawk as Weapom High on Fire - 10,000 Years The riff that basically started this whole thing is probably Black Sabbath - Under the Sun. You can see from the small amount of songs I have posted that these are far heavier(guitar wise) than your standard thrash and death. Its crushingly heavy.
