12 Iconic BRUTAL DEATH METAL Riffs

[@deathmetal0073]

I would have to say THE slam riff from liege of inveracity is pretty iconic.

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Well it turns out I did include it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWrGd3V3YpWeosk

[@spicymeatballs2thespicening]

The Babykiller slam riff deserves to be much more iconic imo, I know liege of inveracity invented the riff but it was extremely rudimentary

[@jimit.4220]

@@spicymeatballs2thespicening I see you on every video that has anything to do with Devourment. Don't blame you they're dope.

[@spicymeatballs2thespicening]

@@jimit.4220 could have sworn we've replied to each other before lol, not gonna disagree there 🍝

[@ChainSwingerHxC]

THE slam riff is the best part considering the surrounding musical context of THE slam

Not only are you an incredible player with a great curation of riffs, your air conditioner is in a great spot. 10/10

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Hahaha thank you so much man!

[@Max_Pez]

God, I am so glad I found this channel. Every video you put out just always has the upmost quality. Seriously inspiring. Keep it up, man! 🙏

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Wow! Thank you so much man! I really appreciate that! Since we are nearing 1k subs I’ll be making the first Q&A once we reach that, so make sure you go to the community tab on my channel and leave your questions in the announcement post :)

[@spiggly_digg]

This is some high quality stuff for such a small channel, subbed

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Thank you so much man! You gotta put out quality right from the get go. You have to care about your content first before anyone else.

Super tight playing and crushing tone my man! Absolutely filthy and inspiring me to tighten up my rhythm playing

God I fucking love Nile.. Good video man, your skills are insane!

[@extrememetaldonnie8715]

keep coming back to this vid.. kicks ass plus you’ve picked some amazing songs 💪🏽

[@gustavogoesgomes1863]

grotesque impalement is awesome, and although DF is a riff machine, for me one of their best riffs is the stupidly simple one at the end of procreate the malformed. I don't know if it is the breakdown on itself or the buildup for it, but man, it hits like a TRAIN

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Oh man that one hits like a truck. But if we’re talking iconic riffs, Grotesque Impalement is definitely one of their most known ones.

[@gustavogoesgomes1863]

I just can repeat how epic your guitar skills are man, also great riffs picked! Had to laugh that you picked slaughterhouse from Mortician. Pyrexia was the real shit, that slams so hard! Awesome video man!!!! best start into weekend

[@Oqualquer]

That Black Seeds of Vengeance riff just hit my Nile Nostalgia (Nile was one of the first Brutal DM bands I've ever listened to, so this riff is just iconic asf to me). Similarly, the Optimist riff also hit my Nostalgia from the times i was discovering DM for the first time.

[@extrememetaldonnie8715]

[@Rodrigo_Holanda]

Great playing and selection but i really missed the frying pan snare lol

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Hmmm fair enough. How un-brutal dm of me.

[@Three-LeggedCat]

You know you're going to get great death metal when you got the AC wall unit going on high

[@AidanMartin]

songs that define brutal death for me would be suffocation's liege of inveracity the song that started it all sure but also Internal Bleeding's Anointed in servitude, any of the songs of the first deeds of flesh album, second Dying fetus album, and Devourment's babykiller. All of that help made slam/brutal death metal into how it is nowadays.I also happen to like plenty of newer stuff as well as old stuff like Epicardiectomy,Kraanium,Traumatomy,Korpse,Embryectomy, Extermination Dismemberment,etc.

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Ooo Extermination Dismemberment is a good one.

[@AidanMartin]

@@jojoplaysmusic it is thanks to them too that I am so obsessed with bass drops to begin with and use them everywhere in my own original music all the time.

To this day I still can't figure what's happening or remember any melody.
