    Make it Opeth v. Gojira v. Mastodon v. Meshuggah and you'll have the ultimate battle between what I consider the Big Four of modern metal: they may not be the biggest bands of the scene but in my view they've been the absolute peak of innovation and overall "sound-shaping" of the past 20 years

    Honestly just for me you picked some pretty good but not amazing Meshuggah riffs, whereas the other two bands really had some of their best. A good example of a sick riff that leaves an impression from Meshuggah is that born in dissonance riff at 03:14 or the one at 01:26. Maybe that one riff in Pravus at the breakdown. 02:18 soul burn too. MY GOD they were good live just last month. Blew my mind even tho I saw the exact same setlist mid 2022. There's just something about the whole thing live incl. the light show that makes me headbang harder than almost any other band live. Those guitars sound like a train hitting you live.

      ​@@vik7593 Whilst I get where you're coming from, I do think Gojira is the more creative one. I think it's way easier to hear opeth's musical inspirations than Gojira. What I mean is, basically while Opeth has a lot more clear traces from different styles, Gojira's style is very original, and they have a lot of "How the fuck did you write that!?" moments. (Specifically their stuff from 2003 to 2012)
      I do love both bands equally though 👌

      @juliusgrekar9380 Рік тому

      ​@@vik7593 I think it's undeniable that Opeth have more complex riffs, but I do think Gojira's overall approach to songwriting is extremely unique, and they manage to make so much out of so little. Like for example how they manage to make a major dyad somehow sound so dissonant and intense despite it simply being a major dyad. I can't think of any bands that came before Gojira that used their tropes, but with opeth, I can hear that they listened to a lot of 70s prog because they share a lot of similarities in song structure and approach to writing melodies.
      I don't think more complex necessarily equates to "more creative" if that's what we're arguing about, but I think creative is a very subjective word, so I don't think any of us are right or wrong here.

    Opeth riffs went a bit incorrectly, althought the vid and idea is great👍

    The Blackwater Park title track ALONE has enough banger riffs to rival an entire's band discography! I love Gojira and like Meshuggah, but it's not even close!
    Good job with the riffs, man. I find this riff duel format so entertaining! \m/

    I’m just gonna say this: Blackwater Park alone has more god tier riffs than most bands will ever write in their entire career.
