Violent Pressure – “Signal of Evil”
I’m going to start out with the opening riff of “Signal of Evil” by Violent Pressure.

It serves as a significant affect in terms of shaping our dynamic preferences in thrash metallic. -Matthias Clemens [Guitar]

It’s an superior and energizing combine between technical enjoying and evil notes – you simply have to start out air guitaring to this! -Johannes Clemens [bass/vocals]

Kreator was certainly one of my first actual introductions to thrash metallic, providing me a solution to specific the anger and frustration I felt as a 15-year-old. Their music turned a brief escape from the challenges of on a regular basis life. It’s evident that their affect continues to form the riffing type I’m drawn to. There are such a lot of iconic riffs, like those in Coma of Souls. Nevertheless, I’m selecting “Suicide Terrorist” as a result of its speedy, exact palm-muted strategies align completely with my style and the diversifications I made for Warfield. -Matthias Clemens
Sodom – “Sodomy and Lust”
Subsequent up for me is the opening riff for Sodom’s “Sodomy and Lust”. Darkish, melancholic sounds mixed with vicious shredding solid a spell over you from the primary second. First alone, then backed with a quick beat, this riff positively sticks with you and creates a palpable environment! -Johannes Clemens
Sodom – “Shellfire Protection”
Talking of Sodom, I’m going so as to add one other one right here. Once more, it’s a gap riff, however these all the time have the most important influence [laughs]. ”Shellfire Protection” with its unrelenting tempo captures a militaristic vibe, with a rhythm that’s virtually warlike. It is a no-brainer, and in my view, the music deserves way more credit score! -Matthias Clemens
