I always liked how Sanders is evidently very passionate about those historical musical and ritual references. The CD booklets also sometimes have tonnes of writing in a tiny font, explaining what the songs refer to, historically speaking. Totally nerdy.

It's one of those no-frills riffs that's super simple but extremely effective.

Not a metal band, but this opening riff is pure doom metal:
