Wait, did you just post "Satisfaction?" Yeah, that's a perfect example of a riff oriented song. Keith Richards just plays a couple notes on his guitar over and over for eternity.
A large majority of metal songs use riffs, and many are built around riffs. The entire genre of doom metal is pretty much all songs built around one or two riffs. All the songs you posted follow the format of being built around riffs.
If you have time, you can check out these songs. They are all not death/black metal except the last three, so the vocals should not be a problem. I've arranged them from slow to fast.

United States Power Metal:
Proto-Metal:
Stoner Doom Metal:

Thrash Metal:

If you are feeling bold, you can try these three extreme metal songs. The first one is from the days of early black metal, the second one is a weird genre called melodic black/death metal that is easier on the ears than just jumping into Mayhem/Morbid Angel, Burzum/Bolt Thrower, and the third is straight up brutal technical death metal that has like 30 or some unique riffs. They all are built around riffs.
