The pure focus while playing Jason Richardson lol. Also while it may not be the most insanely technical riff, Shade Astray was one of the best songs of the year hands down

The entirety of Fit for An Autopsy’s album is just riffage after riffage. Every riff on that album is absolutely amazing. Some of my favorite guitar work ever honestly.

[TheMostFoolish]

I love how the riffs have a tone that sounds like a nice cross between Nick’s style and the bands he’s covering

[SaurianKing_]

that Landmvrks riff hits even harder in person. Immense band.

[StoriesOfSolitude]

Been really getting into Bleed From Within lately, they slap.

[Archeum]

That paledusk riff you just played was trucking impressive bro!

[ShoddyMussels]

Elegy III riff is too good. Glad you included it. Great video!

[ssvaiyn]

It's just incredible to see the creativity in some of the riffs that were played in this video. How those musicians come up with that stuff is beyond me. I would honestly have to say my favorite riff of the year goes to ARTIFICIAL SUICIDE - Bad Omens.

[UnyonYT]

Nigh to Silence - ERRA
Devils - Black Veil Brides
Times Like This - Fit For A King
Bad Things - I Prevail
Slaughterhouse - Motionless In White
Trenches - Windwaker
60cm of Steel - Alpha Wolf
could've all easily made this list

[andrewpappas]

Honestly, the riff from Call Me Little Sunshine from Ghost was one of my personal favourites from this year and I also loved the main riff from the new Metallica song that came out last week or so

[VeritabIlIti]

The fact that you were able to choose one riff off of SOI's Elegy is impressive. That album has so many amazing riffs it could be its own list

[cgobm]

Doomswitch is my favourite riff of the year. Nick is an absolute riff god, Make Them Suffer have some of the catchiest songs I swear

[benwaardenburg]

Hey I recognize that Jason Richardson riff he used that in Jared Dines Djent 2020 video. 6:05

[jwspitz]

Fit For An Autopsy's new album is unreal, and that's easily my favorite riff from it too 🤟🏻

[Petrical]

Man that shadow of intent riff doesn't get enough credit 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[doulostheou]

Great playing Nik. That Bleed from Within riff is killer! And that 'In Flames' riff reminds me of At the Gates - Blinded by Fear.

[cerberus]

this is the best way to discover new bands to listen. Thank nik!

[robmortimer]

I was waiting for Doomswitch, such an epic riff on an amazing track. Definitely my favourite in a year full of great riffs
