Riff Worship
United States
Registrace 9. 07. 2023
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.

After the dissolution of The Swarm aka Knee Deep In the Head, several of its members joined forces to start a new band. As veterans of the Southern Ontario hardcore scene, this project mirrored a familiar intensity of their contemporaries and past efforts. However, their seamless fusion of catchy rock hooks, black metal melancholia, and doom-inspired riffage solidified the group as an anomaly...

As the ‘90s came to a close, Slipknot unleashed their eventual multi-platinum “debut” album seemingly out of nowhere. They quickly followed this up with arguably the heaviest album to crack the Billboard Top 5. The rapid success and constant touring during this period placed a lot of pressure on Slipknot’s nine members and strained their relationships with each other. With the band on the verge...

Need a little box with which track y’all are talking about when you go through the album or something for all the dumb/short attention span listeners out there (me)
Holy shit didn t mentioned Darkthrone! Or Ulver? Way befor weakling. The rev made me want to check this out asap though.
What song is that in the intro?
Dylan's old hardcore band, Street Debt!
@@RiffWorshipPod awesome stuff 👏
Wormwitch kicks ass! For sure one of my top BM albums of the year! Great review.
Knee Deep in the Head gives it such a different context than the real name😂
Skramz is the ONLY acceptable word for this! C'mon, now!
OK, maybe you could also call it power-violence, or maybe even better emo-violence, or, like, rock 'n' roll. But ain't nothin' wrong with the greatest retronym of all time: SKRAMZ. How else to differentiate good music from the bubblegum mall pop christian dreck that goes by the names "emo" or "screamo" these days?!?!
Didn't do enough for me to stand out from the pack on first listening but may be it will on a second try
I cannot believe I have never noticed that before. I’ve listened to Hate Grows Stronger so much and I’ve never noticed that it was in 15/16. Justin is absolutely right. The intro is in 4 but the first and second verse is in 15 but it’s so incredibly slow it’s almost hard to tell. You really have to focus when counting. You could almost blame it on syncopation(dotted quarter with a dotted eighth) or really odd phrasing but no. You have the slight interruption before the 1 making it apparent it’s in 15. Now I highly doubt any of them even noticed that but still cool nonetheless.
Keep the mastodon content coming
Ok.... Bucket Full of Teeth was only Will.... Bucket's drummer was Matt who played in Cancer Kids and Brad who was in Wolves/OG Orchid bassist.......Andy Skelly was not the drummer for Bucket. Unless of course you're talking about Funkbucket.... lol... Because Andy did play in a band called Funkbucket with Evan from Forcefedglass/Light The Fuse and Pat who was in the OG lineup of Daughters.... which was located on Cape Cod. Andy and Stephen both played in a band called The Last Forty Seconds while Will was still playing in Orchid. TLFS original bassist was actually Timmy from Wolves before Steveo took over. Both Andy and Stevo moved into the Montegue house before Ampere started..... the band started because they were literally living together and around each other often. Unicoroner featured Meghan on bass and came about after Ampere had started. OK.... so the demo on discogs LOLOLOL... I actually posted that..... there were two versions... one in a stapled bag and one in a jcard set up. Stephen was the one who actually made the demos.... most of them were just given out to a bunch of us who knew them around the first few shows. I don't think they planned on doing this band quite as long as they did at that point. At that point it was just a fun exercise trying to recapture that super intense energy of bands like Antioch Arrow.... playing like 8 minute sets. I do know for a fact if you were to reach out to any one of these four they would be happy to talk about it. Some of the most genuine people on the face of the planet.
Also..... bass player from my band was probably the dude who introduced the Big Muff and a few other electro-harmonix products to this general scene in the early 2000s. I swear to it.... when he started bringing around the Muff there was some reluctance at first.... As far as gear goes? We all knew what we were doing back then. Will especially. Our choice of gear was calculated... right down to guitarist in my band using a 1960's era fender bassman with an mxr overdrive pedal, bass player using a 1972 SVT. Alan Doo-shayz. I won't say much about this.... but for the most part his mastering during this period was extremely clinical. Most of his credits involved volume leveling and sequencing..... adding a little compression... 2 to 3 hours work max. But literally creating a master to duplicate from. Not the kind of mastering you're thinking of.... not that much knob turning lol. In the case of say Converge.... more time was probably spent on mastering.
@@CountryMouseCityCrimes thank you for setting the record straight on a lot of this and providing context! Would definitely love to get anyone on to discuss this record!
This was a fun walk down memory lane, because Wolves was the first live show I ever went to, and I ended up listening to Ampere and Bucket Full of Teeth later
Enjoying your commentary and insight, but I really would have hoped you at least play some passages for people that never heard of the band.
Civerous rules.
I love your podcast and this album! It keeps me entertained and informed on my time off. Keep up the great work! Also I loved the deep dive on Thou and the Mastadon and Lamb of God pods!
@@res118 that really means a lot to us to hear! Thank you for the kind words & support 🙏🏻
I saw them on that G'n'R + Soundgarden tour. Classic Patton moment: a bottle of piss launched from the audience and hit him in the face. He picked it up and drenched himself in it then kicked the bottle back into the crowd.
babe, riff worship uploaded
This show fucking rules
great review!
Baroness is one of those transcendental bands to me. It's well thought but spontaneous, it's distorted but upbeat, and it's polished without losing any edge. It's truly a band for people who simply like music, regardless of genre or allegiances.
I fucking loved the cloud rat tour i still have my shirt from that show! Saw it in portland and the body showed up and everyone who was on the tour played parts of the drum kits to accompany a 10 min body noise set. Best show i have ever been to
Fuck yes, gorgeous album
Yiur info us really iffynit being a dick just saying
this album is a highway straight to riff city.
I first heard of malignancy because Roger from Mortician played drums for them, great band.
Awesome video. Criminally underrated grind classic. Probably their best one since it started their love for random weirdness within their grind mastery.
wow mark is so hot
Thier collab with the body is one of my favorite heavy albums of all time
KILLER.
When people ask me what my favorite riff is I say anything Matt Pike creates and walk away from the conversation. All hail the king!
Thou's bibliography is prolific to say the least, these guys know riffs!
I've enjoyed everything this band has put out, this album has expanded their sound a little. The demo/ep sounded like a mix of mortician & crowbar to me, this new album is the best thing they've done.
Thx you a lot guys! For fans like me who are not born in America and don't know that much to understand the full picture all those series was kinda like "door" to see much more. Great work! And yeah! It was really inspiring to re-listen ALL the stuff :D
It looks like you’ve done just as much exploration of their work through your sick covers 🔥 Thanks so much for checking us out!
@@RiffWorshipPod Hah thanks for your attention to that!
Great interview…in all seriousness..I really would like to know what AIC live pre Dirt show that Andy was talking about…
I could be mistaken, but I believe it was this footage: czcams.com/video/1wFBOW996Z8/video.htmlsi=5C2cpJTiGFLL9ubP
@@RiffWorshipPod thanks!!🙏🏻
A Matthew sighting here is unprecedented, incredible work boys
Too kind, thanks for checking it out 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
As a fan of Thou since Autopsy Kitchen released Peasant, this has been quite a lovely series. Currently listening and watching this from work
Thanks for following along with us, it was a pleasure to make and we appreciate you checking it out! Who would you want to see next?
@@RiffWorshipPodthinking about this for a little bit here. If you wanted to go over a band's discography and the changes they go through, I'd say it's easy to go with The Body. Every album of theirs sounds like The Body but in a different lense. My personal favorite band is Neurosis and each album is obviously different. Starting off as a hardcore punk, going into a thrash direction with Word As Law, the 90s alternative metal sound of Souls At Zero, etc. Being someone living in the Notre Dame area of Indiana and often visiting Chicago, I'd have to say Lord Mantis and Indian. Look at their first albums and their final albums to hear how they changed. Sanford Parker was their engineer across both band's discographies. You can hear a combination of the bands getting better and Sanford's skills too.
My all time favorite guitarist. I am huge King fan since 1987 and Abigail.
From Lafayette Louisiana but been in Baton Rouge the past 8 and THOU have become one of my top 5! Acid bath will always hold the first spot. THOU'S new release (umbilical) will be album of the year! It sounds like the 90 's!! I get very strong SHRUM vibes from the album and it is fucking awesome! Got into THOU from their cover of The Lasting Dose (Crowbar) then Changeling Prince and Their Hooves Carved Crators in the Earth.
Absolutely loving UMBILICAL! Reminds me a ton of SHRUM.... and basically just that 90s sounding metal. Also very grungy! Great stuff!
I also got into coalesce right as converge became a huge deal to me. Also curl up and die, BBTS, ETID, DEP and others
Awesome interview
Nick’s a legend. One of my fav bassists. Dudes funny and cool as hell
Emotional Terrorists Base reminds me on Admiral Angry (like on sex with a stranger) one of my most favorite band of all time
Thanks for doing the whole podcast and this whole review. I've been losing my shit listening to this album today. This band deserves so much respect and is a reason a lot of us are in bands. This may be the best Thou album upon first listen. What they did here is condense so many influences into a smaller window, and they did it with a lot of fucking class
Ok, about that tour lineup. Thou, Conan and Monolord?! That would fucking rule. But, I'd like to add Primitive Man to the bill. Thou, Monolord and Primitive Man are pretty much my 3 favorite bands. I love Conan, too. Umbilical is amazing. I love the new Thou album 🤘🔥💚
Bro I always thought your handle was daily boozer 😂! I'm an idiot. Keep rocking man🤟
🤘🏼
learning a lot from these vids - comprehensive as fuck yo! that new brat record rules :)
I could listen to this all day.
I love y’all’s passion! Add some 15 second sound clips fair use clause the powers that be won’t mess with you🤘🏼
