LOL at Baby Metal being muted.

Anyone else watching this and just can’t believe how long ago some of these songs came out when it still feels like they came out like last year

I’ll be surprised if this doesn’t get copyrighted just from the intro

Loved the inclusion of Breaking Benjamin. They don't get recognized enough for their riffs

I was expecting DECADE tunning 🤪🤪

periphery represented, feels good I feel like you could do the best 50 riffs of each year

You should do "BREAKDOWNS of the decade" too :D

Wow a KZfaqr actually knows/cares about Insomnium. Well done

Most of these were really nice but should 0000000000 be in a top 50 of the decade list ?

If this was a loud wire list it’d be all Ghost songs

That fact that "Cross Off" is here made me happier than I could possibly imagine.

im shocked, there´s no lamb of god in this list wtf

So glad Polaris made it in here, one of the best bands out

When you like the guitar so much you get the same one as a 7 string

You learned blood eagle the day it was released, and it didn't make the list? Wack.

Its more like 50 best riffs of metalcore genre of the decade.

I always rely on you to bring new music to my radar. Thank you!

If Justin Bieber isn’t on here I’m gonna scream

You forgot “termina-lucid” ;)

This video has got me saving sooooo many songs I forgot all about. Great playing as usual.

starting out with deftones a man of culture, I see

You forgot stairway to heaven

the metalcore subgenres really took over the 2010s

Love you nik!!

Its been 10 years, and Nik still smells like teen spirit.

Not a single Black Dahlia riff. This disappoints me.

Amazing! waiting for the next collection of new riffs!🔥🔥

YOUR PICK OF THE SONGS IS SIMPLY AMAZING!!! Thank you buddy 😌❤️❤️❤️

Now we just need these made into a spotify playlist

Blood eagle was the one i was missing the most, nice to include polaris they are insane.

Nice work, Nik! Happy holidays!

Thanks for the new addidtions to my library

All you’ve done is make me realize I’ve been listening to the same bands for 10 years...

Wow, discovered some really cool stuff I hadn't heard before thanks to this video. Great stuff, man!

I love this vid, exactly what I needed to see what bands i've missed and thanks to this i'm now hooked on Psycroptic.

very helpful, thanks

I was just waiting for “Shadow Moses”, “The River”, and “Doomsday” lol. Awesome video, Nik!!

7:17 I feel like it's hard enough to even program the drums of any Oceans Ate Alaska song, let alone even think of trying to play it on drums. Hes seriously not a human

Great riffs!

Sick guitar work brother. Some of the riffs weren't all that but most of them were insane! Makes me want to get back into playing more often!

Honestly, I think that Periphery has way better riffs than Scarlet, but it's still an absolutely iconic riff

Amazed, at how many of these sound better without the vocals.

Brooo that cover of Baby Metal is probably the cleanest attempt ever. I couldn't ever play it before, but now that Im covering your rendition of it I fucking nailed it

Brilliant! 🔥

This better has some Jinjer Edit: i'm not dissapointed

1:04 thank you for playing this riff, this song eluded me for YEARS. I stumbled on this song back in 2011 and I lost my youtube account at the time and NEVER found it or heard the song or band again.

Wow this is a great list, love that you picked great riffs from all across the spectrum of metal subgenres.

daaaaamn, so many good riffs! I just love Volumes, great job.

Would be a huge disappointment if there's a band release a banger on the next day

Damn you look energetic and tired at the same time

thanks to you ive found so many new bands

Nostalgic. Thanks for what you do, Nik!

2019 Sylosis - I Sever

You're gonna be pissed when someone writes a banger at the end of December 😂

so glad you put sounds of a playground fading, super underrated song and prob my fav in flames tune.

Dude you are actually incredible... i love watching you so much! inspires me to grab the axe!

Dude, you put a shit ton of work into this, hats off to you man! Also solid list! This is amazing

Incredible retrospect, time flies by so fast! Thank you for this Nik 🙏 Also you might have picked the wrong riff in Polaris' Lucid... ᵈᵒᵒᵈᵒᵒᵒ ᵈᵒᵒᵈᵒᵒᵒ ᵇᵒʷⁿᵒʷⁿᵒʷⁿᵒʷⁿᵒʷ ⁿᵒʷʷʷʷʷʷ ᵈᵉᵉᵈᵉᵉᵈᵉᵉᵇᵒʷⁿᵒʷ ⁿᵒʷʷʷ ᵈᵒᵒᵈᵒᵒᵈᵉᵉᵈᵉᵉᵈᵒᵒᵈᵒᵒ

You do a wonderful job of making heavy approachable! I appreciate the work you do. For someone as talented as you, I’d love to start seeing some instructional stuff over how to begin or get intermediate in metal concepts.

So good selection. All of my favorites

Lack of ADTR makes me sad. Was hoping for at least Sometimes You’re The Hammer, Sometimes You’re The Nail or 2nd Sucks

Damn started off with God Hates Us👌, dropped a like before listening to the other 49 lol

I liked the list. It's pretty hard to do something like this. I missed only revocation... their riffs are amazing. Anyway, congrats for making the video!

I'm just happy to see you listen to Shokran. Awesome band!

Attila-Toxic is one of my favorite riffs of the decade for sure

Seems more like the Heaviest riffs of the decade. But to each his own, some bangers in there regardless!

Nice riff compilation as always. It’s strange to think that this whole decade has passed before us.

Beastly guitar playing as always

I'm glad Insomnium, In Flames, Gojira, Mastodon, Trivium and Ice Nine Kills were included. Some of the best bands in history.

When "karate" and "lost in the static" hit 😬😬🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 (headbang)

Just amazing

The fact that Jinjer made this list makes me SOOO happy.

This just made me feel old lol. Didn't realize that Letters was 6 years ago, damn

This video made me realize how hard Scarlet is to play, shit.

That was kinda great, love the way you chose not famous songs, and it's a great way for us to discover new bands,

You are so ridiculously talented 🔥🔥🔥

So you mean the best 50 best deathcore/metalcore riffs

Uploaded 8 seconds ago and I'm already gonna like it. Love you Nik

Diamond Eyes!!! What a way to open the video!!!! Hell yes dude!!

MY BOYS OAA GETTIN IN A NIK NOCTURNAL VID FUCK YEAH

Very nice job! It would be perfect if you make a Spotify playlist with all these killer songs in it!

Thank you for putting Diamond Eyes on here 🙏

You made my day with Cross Off at the end! RIP Chester

The best thing about this video was you reminded me who Parkway Drive are. Been trying to remember their name for the longest time! Damned good playing. Damned good riffs. Keep up the good work.

One of my favorite riffs from the decade is After the Burials "Behold the Crown" such a sick riff

Surprised to see Babymetal there, but im glad its included!

TheDooo listening on his cellphone and .... learn all the stuff immediatly You are sick bro 🔥

Started off with my fav band of all time. Much respect. Deftones have quite a collection of riffs from this decade alone

Aye good pick on sultans curse I thought you might leave them out because I’ve never really seen you do Mastodon before. Amazing list dude! Also Id love to see some riffs from behemoth on here, but still awesome job!

Not gonna lie 2019 was the year of metal.

Surprised to see Shrezzers on here but glad you know of them and thought to include a riff!

banging vid haha

If Shadow of Intent isn’t on here, I’m gonna be pissed. Edit-You win this round

"Best Deathcore/Metalcore Riffs of the Decade" but yes this is a sick list, and now I have a lot of new bands to check out. Loved seeing "Paralyzed", "You'll Never Find Me", and "Karate" on here! Surprised to not see "Cirice" (Ghost), "Behold the Crown" (ATB), or no Metallica although they had two albums chalked full of juicy thrash riffs.

Man, that was ABSOLUTLY awesome. 100%%

Great playing .avenged my favourite
