I'm sure I could pull together a list if I took the time, but the one that always pops up in my mind as an underrated riff is the opening one for "Under the Oak" by Candlemass. So meaty and epic! Another good one is the thrashy riff after the chorus of "The Chains of Power" by Kataklysm. "Reset" by Metal Church is probably another one that gets overlooked.

I've remembered 3 that came to my mind first at this moment 1) Revocation - Chaos of Forms (that little catchy heavy riff around 53th second wich appears only once in the song, I rewinded it couple of times to relisten. Looks simple but colol and heavy as f..k) 2) Submersed - To Peace (there's 2 variation of riff at 1-10 and 3-22 of that song, cool melodic groove riff) 3) Insane little progressive riff of 7-10 seconds long with heaviest sound I can only dream to achieve. Mudvayne -" I Can't Wait" 9th second and 2-12 of the song. Remember this album was one of my favorite (and still is) - very heavy quality sound with amazing progressive groovy riffs here and there ( like the Beyond The Pale riff in second half of the song on that selftitled album, The Hate In Me ob previous The New Game album). But actually there is dozen of insanely underrated stuff in all of their albums. And ofcourse a lot of riffs of "Blotted Science - The Machinations Of Dementia" , underrated stuff that blown my mind, none of any other progressive stuff don't come close to Ron Jarzombek's "music for aliens" and have wondered me more, he has reconstructed my brain once and forever. Insanely heavy and progressive stuff that everyone should to listen in their life.

I actually had to go back and watch that again because it was so simple but bleepin' catchy. I did not expect that whammy-whack to give that harmonic so much eerie character. I remember enjoying Static-X "I'm the One" (way back before I picked up any guitar) and wondering how they got that uncanny harmonic sound in the riff. My Generation took that idea and whacked it up a notch.

Lies by Evanescence has awesome guitar riffs throughout. The riffs aren't difficult, but they're awesome. I'm not a big Evanescence fan, but that song caught me off guard and I still listen to it.

I never understood how "Trashed, lost & strungout" and "We're not gonna fall" weren't more popular amongst bodom fans.

I would say the bridge riff from annihilators no zone is a good choice for this but I feel like every riff from annihilator is under appreciated

At the moment, not well haha. But I'm working on it! It needed a complete setup and the frets are yellow for some reason which you can see in the video. I like it a lot though and it sounds good, it just needs a lot of set up work.
