One of the truest things @Hella_Apocrypha ever said is that modern metal fandom's self-proclaimed love of riffs is mostly performative. How can you say you love riffs but you don't fuck with Anthrax or Sepultura or Warbringer? Fuck on outta here. Quality>Quantity for riffs always

Or you could not be a coward and listen to Dark Angel which has both but y'all not ready to have that discussion
