The riff is the foundation of heavy music, evolving over several decades and styles. Many of our favorite songs started with a single idea and guitar in hand. Anyone can write a riff, but what makes a good riff? Each week, riff disciples Austin Paulson, Dylan Adams, & Justin Swindle attempt to answer this question by discussing their favorite riffs, how they came to be, and why we still worship them today.

Ashes of the Wake
20 years old and just as relevant, Lamb of God’s Ashes of the Wake cemented the band as a frontrunner of the newly coined “New Wave of American Heavy Metal." With an emphasis on songwriting and a scathing critique of the former administration, Lamb of God took a leap of faith in signing a deal with a major label. Join us in celebrating a breakthrough and massive metal milestone!

Need To Control
In 1994, Brutal Truth released their sophomore album: a follow up that redefined what extreme music could sound like.
With industrial, harsh noise, & even black metal influences, Need To Control ushered grindcore into its adolescence and remains a timeless classic.

Thou (Part 4)
2018 witnessed “The Summer of Thou” with three distinct and varying EPs. These influences culminated into a brand new full-length, which served to counter the more natural themes of its predecessor Heathen.
Join us this week on Riff Worship as we discuss Thou's self-critical triumph, Magus
