Well, not all riffs are secluded to one instrument. In some cases it is, but there are a lot of examples where the riffs are carried out through multiple instruments.

I don't have as good an ear for how musical elements work together for the most part, so my appreciation for the HOF riff (I still need to vote I guess) is down to its violent, percussive attack. It just pummels in a way that references doom, while having a slight industrial metal approach (i.e. Godflesh-style percussion over "groove"). Not that I'm comparing High On Fire to Godflesh, but I think there's a certain similarity just in that one riff. So did you actually like the song, or just prefer it? Cause if so I'd highly recommend their Death Is this Communion album for your Classic Albums thread. The band plays a pretty unique blend of Motorhead, Black Sabbath, thrash, and dashes of many other metal bands and genres. They're in my Metal Album Survivor thread under stoner/sludge, but that's a pretty loose way to categorize them. As far as I'm concerned they're just kind of... metal. The kind of band that goes by instinct rather than adhering to a sub-genre playbook.

Anyhoo, once again you're too late: did DitC during Metal Month II. Don't you even read my many reviews? I would have thought Metal Month would have given you much cause for mirth, or at least earthshattering anger at me....?

It's been like half a year. You expect me to remember your subpar reviews that long? Am I to assume you hated it?
