    This is my top selection of riffs from 2023 (in no particular order). Let me know which other riffs should’ve made it to the list!
    Hope you enjoy 🤘

      currents - unfamiliar, polaris - inhumane, and THE riff from monuments - nefarious. to be fair lol all the riffs you showed were REALLY good but still it was a liiiitle sad not seeing my favourite riffs :>

    I love that you chose the chorus riff and not the verse riff from Nefarious. Such a sick riff, but in the song itself it's kind of shrouded by the vocals. Which is fine in the song's context but it deserves the attention on its own as well.
