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.

tbh opeth in general are outstanding at making riffs. I was also fascinated at how they use all sorts of weird chords instead of powerchords. and they also have an interesting way of making leads and harmonies. really good stuff. for bodom I love all their catalogue despite the fact that some people say the last ones were kinda eh. I love Alexi's riffage and soloing. RIP Legend.

Opeth may not be my absolute favorite band, but if I could only listen to one band for the rest of my life, it would be them. They don't get old. Ironically, I like the middle-later albums more than the early ones.

Soilwork - Structure Divine Dark Tranquillity - Rundown Mors Principium Est - Reclaim the Sun / Altered State of Consciousness Darkane - Layers of Lies Morbid Angel - Dawn of Angry Opeth - Bleak Mors Principium Est is generally underrated, so many great riffs, Soilwork's first three albums are rife with greatness in that regard as well.

Necrophagist have many underrated great riffs - the delayed riff before (and after) the solo of Culinary Hyperversity, the riff after the solo of Ignominious and Pale (underneath the harmonies), the end riff of Diminished to B (easiest Necro riff, still cool), Epitaph's riff before the solo (so sluggish) to name a few.

YES! Those and FOD are probably my favorites, but, in my opinion they don't have "bad" riffs/solos. Had the pleasure of seeing them live twice...it was almost hard to mosh at times because everyone was so busy ogling the musicianship in amazement! During the solos, it was like a group of well behaved music connoisseurs watching legitimate musical virtuosity...then right back into the circle pit lol.
@Chris-Ian 11 ай бұрын
@@amphibeingmcshpongletron5026 Of course they don't have bad riffs. Some of the solos are not as good and memorable as others, but its forgiveable, considering Epitaph is as close to perfection as an album can get.
