The Mighty Riffs Thread

Love this band. They sound like a cross between Every Time I Die and SikTh with the odd post rock moment. This is probably their most full on tech song though.

I had to post something by them eventually. Ace use of pinch harmonics.

The riff about 30 seconds in. Put this up to avoid the vocalist. He sings like a whiny Chester from Linkin Park :/

I love thrash. For me it's not about the riffs, and more the speed of the palm mutes and triplets, and how it's in always sync with the percussion. Wonderful. I just can't palm mute that fast. It's a skill.

All thrash riffs are inherently almost the same though so I guess that's my problem. Zero attention span. Fast triplets are in melodic hardcore/punk and especially in death metal and things like that too. Actually that reminds me of a riff...

All over that like a cheap suit. Riff thread road trip?

Definitely in.

Unsane are great live. I've never seen a frontman look so genuinely aggro as Chris Spencer. Saw them in Leeds in 2007, and the PA blew, so he stepped off the stage with his guitar, barged around in the crowd and just screamed in peoples faces. It was the most uncomfortably aggressive thing I've ever witnessed. I got a "GET OFF MY BACK!!!" right in my lughole. I thought I was going to mess myself.

Anyone actually gonna be driving down? I'd pay petrol plus several pints (of lemonade).

Unsane are currently supporting the Melvins in the States, with the Big Business as their rhythm section. DOUBLE DRUMS. I wish that was happening here. Unsane, BB, Melvins, on the same night? That'd be rowdy.
