Comment your favorite riffs of the year below!
EDIT: Sadly Machine Head had to be cut due to a publisher copyright claim...
Angst by RAMMSTEIN
Been digging new disturbed
Riffity Riffity Riff Riff Riffoo. Also many yays for Breakdowns. Necky Snappy makes me happy.
1984 by Slaughter to Prevail but idk what have you done to it lmao
YESSSSS BEST BREAKDOWNS OF 2022 PLEASE!!!!!!!!
So sick 🤘
Thanks dude!
holy shit its bubba
Tis monke man
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
EXACTLY
to both things actually
Was doing so much math fam
@@NikNocturnal polyrhythms didn't even exist when I was in college. Damn I'm old...
Agreed
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.
They are so talented it's insane. Easily one of my favorite bands ever
That album just goes so fucking hard
truth
Agreed! They're so good
Yeah they are really talented
I love how the riffs have a tone that sounds like a nice cross between Nick’s style and the bands he’s covering
:D
Been really getting into Bleed From Within lately, they slap.
New age Parkway Drive
Imo the riff from Stand Down should be there. It's soooooooooo much better than Levitate
They're dope af!
Bleed From Within is great! Their guitar work and drums as well on songs like clarity, or the end of all we know...especially the end of all we know.
Man...they're got several songs that just really slap.
I'm going to see them next year since they're coming to America and playing with August burns red.
That'll be a GREAT several hours of solid metalcore...can't wait.
Saw them live last week in Berlin for the first time, and holy smokes, they are equally great live. Insane!
that Landmvrks riff hits even harder in person. Immense band.
They're dope af!
@@NikNocturnal check out their labelmates Resolve too if you haven't already. They were the support when I saw Landmvrks, and their live version of 'Between Me & The Machine' is insaaaaaaane.
@@NikNocturnal and so amazing to see their in live 🔥
The live set they did on TH-cam is amazing! Better than their recorded music
@@SaurianKing_ been a fan of Resolve since LANDMVRKS did the live-streamed show. Absolute incredible band

@@jacobwalters lmaaooo
No kreator? Lame
@@jacobwalters hope that was entertaining for ya
@Underoath-Define The Great Line Fan Account [5-8] it seems like people forgot ERRA released their deluxe edition and pull from the ghost this year 😔
That paledusk riff you just played was trucking impressive bro!
It took me so long...
He really.... slayed!
Elegy III riff is too good. Glad you included it. Great video!
Man that shadow of intent riff doesn't get enough credit 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
You could throw a random number generator to pick any moment on that album and you'd get a banger riff 🔥🔥
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.
the riffs in Cyberhex are still probably my favourites of the year
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
I'd love to see a Spotify playlist with all of these songs in there
If anyone has not listened to the most recent Boundaries album definitely give it a listen. Incredible album👌🏼
Love their 2000's vibe, dope band!
saw them open for Varials the other month and they blew me away, I bought their new album on the spot at their merch table
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
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
Ghost has this way with simple little riffs that makes them instant earworms while accessible enough for most people to play. Recipe for success
I smell bait
@@VeritabIlIti Agreed, simple yet effective
@@tiagocarneiro2001 What?
I tried to hate them at first because theyre not really metal but its grown on me. Its catchy I like it
4:50 my mans feeling that one lol
Nik!! We love you. Couldn’t imagine the time and effort this took but I hope you know it’s appreciated and I hope I speak for everyone when I say I’m thankful for your content. Some of my favorite bands today I found through you
I was waiting for Doomswitch, such an epic riff on an amazing track. Definitely my favourite in a year full of great riffs
the whole malevolence album was so good
^^^ Yes
this is the best way to discover new bands to listen. Thank nik!
Glad to help! Be sure to share around to help others find new bands :D
Fit For An Autopsy's new album is unreal, and that's easily my favorite riff from it too 🤟🏻
Great playing Nik. That Bleed from Within riff is killer! And that 'In Flames' riff reminds me of At the Gates - Blinded by Fear.
Thanks for these as always! Love the twitch content, but it's nice to see the old style vids once in a while!
Love doing them too! They just take DAYYYS to finish which sadly nowadays I don't have time and have been spending ANY time finishing new TERMINA
This is why I love your channel Nik. You always help me stay informed of what is heavy in the scene! Thanks again!
Great massive playing as always and I have to say, that eight string black guitar is just insane, what a beautiful piece. Thanks for the content, man! It was a great year for metal, excited for 2023.
As someone who totally fell off with modern metal a while back but is coming back to find new stuff, this is the perfect video, your playing is sweet!
Been looking forward to this one since the 2021 came out. Can’t wait for some Breakdowns
Next week ;)
You are blowing my mind!!! What great musicianship! I’m so impressed with your ability to cover all these songs. What a treat that was to watch! Thanks Nik for putting the time and effort into this.
Nice try
Hey man, great video! Always wait for these to come out! I missed night stalker from Megadeth and Ana from Darko, but the list is already golden!
I’m so glad you put Meshuggah’s I Am That Thirst in. It’s 100% my favourite riff.
My favorite riff this year is probably Meshuggah's ligature marks opening riff. It's pretty good
This reminded me that 2022 was a far better year than I recall. Thanks for that...Also still waiting for your Architects "Alpha Omega" reaction/cover!
Damn man 4 of the songs i suggested were included in this list im glad you agreed with me! Almost put hey you from disturbed as simple yet effective glad to see that on here. Dont know how you learn these so fast but it is impressive, awesome vid 🤘🏽
Really good list imo, Levitate is probably my favourite out of this. If you're doing the breakdown video i definitely expect Forever Bloom by Chealsea Grin in there. Unleash Hell by Enterprise Earth and Caved in by Spite are also good canditates in my opionion ^^
Surprised nik missed Barberryans by Berried Alive. The riff on that track is amazing.
great vid! excited to see your best breakdowns video. hoping you'd lay some screams since your vocals have improved a lot
This list is absolutely amazing, so many good riffs. This year was actually pretty good for metal listeners. Would’ve loved to see the main riff from Two Towers - Fit For An Autopsy on here as well.
Nik you should show us your sick guitar collection 🤤
You should definitely check out Worm Shepherd.
I think, they could become very popular in the scene.
They just started out, and already have lots of bangers.
And their drummer is just playing at speeds, so their kicks become one single sound
Nik guitar vid
Got my head banging the entire video.
Thank you!
Love that you got bloodbath on here 🤘 such a sick riff
2022 was, in fact, a great year for metal; love to see FFAA in the list, they deserve so much more love than they get
More of the content for sure. Love this stuff.
Thank you for this video. Adding a lot of new bands to the rotation
This year with its ups and downs still gave us the gift of amazing music 😌 Thank you Nik for the reminder 🙏🏽 Also missing Termina riffs but ok 💜
Northlane - Plenty is my favourite of the year. The riff under the chorus though. I love so much. I put that one in an A-Z riffs video I did.
While not my favorite album of the year, the fact that Northlane was able to produce that album entirely on their own during lockdown is amazing
That was my favorite as well. Love that song!
Amazing compilation and execution! Added bonus: some new bands to check out and the jarring drop in audio quality at the end, when you talk to the mic in your room? Just a cherry on top!
Very sick. And would love seeing the best breakdowns vid!
Some sick riffs in there for sure but how Sylosis haven't made the list is utter madness!
Came here to say the same. Nice.
or how none of METAL: HELLSINGER's riffs is in this
Yo! Thanks for putting me on some shit. Gave me all the eargasms!
Bigger crime is not including metallica or megadeth. Megadeth released one of the best thrash metal albums of the year.
It's awesome to see MLV being included. Great to see them finally getting the recognition they deserve.
On Broken Glass is easily my favourite song of the year
1st time I've seen Malevolence on Niks channel. I've been trying to shine some light on them on this channel for awhile now.
@@rtef6404 check out their older stuff before Malicious Intent. They're incredible.
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
I love these riffs of the year vid 🔥. Cant wait for niks content through out next year
the new polyphia album is actually 🔥
Facts
I’m shocked that Korn is not in this, they’re riffs from requiem are sick, especially lost in the grandeur
I had "Forgotten" on the bigger list actually
@@NikNocturnal oh damn lol
Great video Nik !
I'd say my favorite riff of the year is the one from The Sea Starts Here by The Dali Thundering Concept. The whole album is incredible.
Awesome to see Fit for an Autopsy get some love! Awesome video!
Even though they're probably the most "butt rock" on this list, it's impossible to make a riff list without Disturbed. Stricken 4eva
All great choices. I know you can't possibly get everything in, but it makes me a little sad that there's no Revocation on the list. Dave Davidson is a fuckin' riff machine and Netherheaven is filled with incredible tracks. Lessons In Occult Theft is 1 track off that album I'd highly recommend.
Hah, I also wanted to write about Revocation. I've been hearing them for weeks, and only them!
(Ok there is also a bit Decapitated in my playlist which are also missing on this list)
Hey I recognize that Jason Richardson riff he used that in Jared Dines Djent 2020 video. 6:05
Great work man!! 🔥
These are definitely some of the Metal Riffs of 2022!
Yes
CORE IS METAL
@Dragon Ball fans can't read typical core hater.
@Dragon Ball fans can't read yea it is
@Dragon Ball fans can't read being elitist gives you no credibility. Lol core is metal
Megadeth had some of the best riffs of this year too.
True
Really good collection! I would've chosen the other riff from LoG's Vanishing though, the one after this one. So groovy and amazing!
As usual, you killed it🤘
What a great selection Nik, thank you for this content I know it takes time and dedication ❤️
Thank you! Yeah this one... took a while aha
thanks for the inspiration bro! keep it up!
So many bands i've never heard before.
So many new songs in my playlist in the nearest future
Bravo
The backing riff to JTs parts in Nigh to Silence are fun
This song wasn’t in there but I do recommend it if you guys like melodic riffs, it’s called Midnight Rain by Dreamwake
Very nice work! You're a boss!
Fine playing! Super impressive !!
Amazing list! :)
Unbelievable how much work you put in this video.
Had a half of this songs in my playlist , good compilation
The solo from Hawaiian Punch by Berried Alive is probably one of my favorite riffs of the year. But then again Neurotica was full of bangers too lol
That riff from Malevolence - On Broken Glass is so good that I ALMOST stopped the video to listen to the full song.
Awesome video, you can really see the effort put into it 🔥🔥💪💪 Big W
Like your new setup!! Looks awesome 💯💯
I love videos you do similar to this, It's an amazing way to discover new music. Keep it up please
Your videos make my lunch break soon much more enjoyable, thanx bud!
Alter Bridge - Silver Tongue
song is sick but the opening 40 seconds are just bliss
absolute banger. the whole video
awesome job man! my favorite was Levitate for sure
tremendous job with all fo them thanks for highlitting some that i miss
Thank you Nik ^^
I almost never listen to Metal because it doesn't come up on my playlists, but now I want to go through most of the songs in this video and check them out. Thanks Nik.
Totally respect how you played the Jason Richardson clip with his sig, and *promptly* got tf outta there
I definitely need that best breakdown video 🤟
Love the riffs
I gotta say one of my favorite riffs lately is actually from shinedown. Their song "no sleep tonight" has a dope verse riff.
Very nioce. Tasty squeals , a lot of songs for me to check out. 🤘🏼
My annual “what bands did I miss this year” video. But god damn that meshuggah riff 😂
Thanks man
This was the best one since some years. Headbanging whole video
Great to see two Awesome Aussie Bands in there!!!!
Awesome video!!! 😃🙏🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Metal riffs keeps getting better and better by year
