10 ICONIC Melodic Death Metal Riffs

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Just got done recording the next Riff Journey. It’s one of the bands that appeared in this video.

[@CTSHXC]

R.I.P. to Fredrik Johansson of early Dark Tranquillity, he will be missed

[@jojoplaysmusic]

May he Rest In Peace

[@josephkunath4173]

I miss him and Alexi. Great musicians.

[@laszloleventekis8551]

What a majestic sub-genre! Great video!

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Thank you!

Nice touch on Hypocrisy and Kalmah, wasn't expecting them in a video like that!

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Thanks! I believe they’re super important bands.

[@stansilvestrov3106]

@@jojoplaysmusic I agree. Hypocrisy is personally my favourite band of all time.

[@jojoplaysmusic]

[@ЕвгенийГавриловский]

Thanks for vid. I am currently listening again to 1990-s/early 2000 MDM and Melodic Black/Death metal stuff, much appreciated. P. S. Insomnium - 10/10.

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Excelent, thanks man.

[@MATheus5555able]

Dark Tranquility`s The Gallery is insane riffwise! really glad you put this one there, highly underrated gem.

December Flower is my favorite In Flames song ever

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Same for me!

[@LordFarquad-cl3bk]

Colony is my fave (I know it sounds random, since this convo doesn’t have anything to do with it, but I really like colony lol😂)

[@Vazaqin]

I'm watching this like wtf, no insomnium?! I see you saved the best for last 🤘🏻

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Of course, not only do they make a perfect closer for the video, but I definitely gotta start with the classics and end with the new blood carrying the flag

[@orugma]

Great choices on all of these!

[@haydndinsdale]

Mate, you did such a great job with the song selection, playing, and tones. One of my personal favourite melo death riffs is the intro the Kalmah's Hallow Heart.

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Thank you so much! “Swamphell” by Kalmah is my personal favorite

[@AnweckGaming0301]

@@jojoplaysmusic Great to see u guys enjoy Kalmah, such a great band. "Bird of ill omen" is still my fav forever, the intro and then came into the blast beats is absolutely perfect ;)

[@andrewbellavie795]

Hey man I really enjoyed your playing. Many of these were favorites of mine growing up. Imho the best CoB riffs are from Hatecrew Deathroll and Follow The Reaper.

[@SlyHikari03]

I miss In Flames so much. Jester Race was their best album:

[@Woecaller]

Dude. That was epic. Great job at nailing those riffs and keep at it.

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Thank you so much! And I will! I have more stuff on the works so keep an eye out for it.

[@MrJakedog104]

Melodic Death Metal is my all time favorite genre!

[@awolfinhumanshape2623]

starting with sots made sure this video would be awesome

[@jordanbowry7720]

You're Neural Guitar tones are always amazing - don't know how you do it! Do you mind sharing your presets? :)

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Thank you so much! I might at some point. For this one I have my own IR combined with the Dynamic 57 MS IR which is making A LOT of difference. I also use the KT88 setting. This video is actually the one that depicts that tone the best since the only thing I did in post was adding a high-pass filter. So what you’re hearing is my tone pretty much straight out of the box.

[@jordanbowry7720]

@@jojoplaysmusic Thanks for the detailed response You are very good at dialling in these guitar tones!

[@jojoplaysmusic]

@@jordanbowry7720 haha thank you, I think I am.

[@TheJohnnee]

So many banger riffs here

[@joeylo3543]

You deserve way more subs yo!

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Thank you! Sharing the videos with people you think might like them could really help me with that :)

[@MaelstromTheDemon]

My favorite metal subgenre fullstop. Bobom, Omnium Gatherum, Insomnium, In Flames, and Dark Tranquillity are easily my Top 5.

Every song to everything I should have never done. Rock the fuck on

[@bloodbanedeathmetal4549]

You should do an Amon Amarth video but instead of one per album, showcase a few of the best per album haha There’s too many good ones to only choose one

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Sometimes I do more than one per album. We’ll see.

[@Шорголж]

This song of Hypocrisy is from a death-doom album. Hypocrisy has other good melodic death metal songs

[@Xei_Men]

- Сколько раз вы это пересмотрели? - да P.S. я уже.4 раз на протяжении месяца это пересматриваю😂

[@PaladinfffLeeroy]

God, His Son, and Holy Whore is such an underrated song by Amon Amarth! Great choice!
