11 Heaviest Mastodon Riffs | Guitarists Bill Kelliher and Brent Hinds' Picks

Mastodon are one of modern metal's most prolific purveyors of the riff. The Atlanta band's eclectic catalog is packed with memorable, technical and physically crushing guitar passages that weave between sludge, prog, and classic heavy metal with a level of proficiency that few other bands have achieved. Their music can be jammy and tuneful, but guitarists Bill Kelliher and Brent Hinds always keep their songs grounded with massively heavy riffs. There're so many ten-ton guitar parts in their catalog to choose from, but we had the riff-meisters themselves pick - and play along with - what they deem the heaviest in their repertoire. See their picks above and let us know some of your favorite heavy Mastodon riffs in the comments below!

[@andresgonzalez407]

that's super accurate lol

The new Gretsch's are rely good for heavy music. They have a block in the middle which lessens feedback

Brent gets a lot of (well earned) credit in Mastodon being the lead player but this video really shows how integral Bill is to Mastodon and just how responsible he is for their overall sound.

[@portal432]

Yeah the new album doc really showed me it’s bill and brann doing a ton of the writing lately. It’s probably cycles also, I think crack the skye was a lot of Brent’s album.

[@ericrobert85]

@@portal432 I know “Crack the Skye” and the “Cold Dark Place” EP were largely Brent’s work, but the more interviews and documentaries they put out the more apparent it is that Bill and Brann are largely responsible for most of the Mastodon material. I’ve thought Bill was an underrated guitarist/songwriter for a long time and this just strengthens that fact for me.

Bill is too humble to include that riff from The Last Baron (you know the one), greatest of all time

[@uRaPOSER1026]

There are so many great riffs in that song and this isn’t the first time I’ve seen someone say ‘you know the one’ lol. Are you referring to the one with the harmonic slide at 8:20 that just kinda comes outta nowhere and is super groovy? Maybe he didn’t pick that one cuz it’s not necessarily heavy but I agree it’s absolutely incredible. That’s gotta be my favorite mastodon song and crack the skye might be my fav album of all time.

[@feral_orc]

Not on a heaviest riffs list anyway

[@jebus571]

That riff is like crack, it's more like a groove metal riff, it gets you moving.

[@colinmasterson1604]

'The Last Baron' is one of my favorite Mastodon songs. I put it on a mix CD-R for some beginners a few years back.

[@tidymilk5162]

The fact that so many comments are talking about songs they missed, really shows the amount of incredibly memorable riffs came out of these guys. Legendary!

So legendary they haven't released anything decent in over a decade and are absolute assholes to their fans. One of the worst bands I've had the displeasure of meeting.

Definitely missing March of the Fire Ants. The first time I heard that opening riff my mind was blown. Absolutely the heaviest thing I had ever heard and still one of my favorite Mastodon songs.

[@sitvisjes]

I really like the riff in the middle of the song, it's not the heaviest but it's very melodic and it hits me.

[@themaggot8]

Absolutely, I wasn't a fan of Mastodon until I saw them live at a festival a decade ago and they opened with March of the fire ants...I became a fan since then.

[@shadowsoldiernz]

Brann is a legend. A quote from Brann, "I've written some Mastodon riffs and songs on guitar, and then I get them into the more capable hands of Bill and Brent.
