im surprised no one has mentioned anything by octis/ocrillim/orthrelm/crom-tech. mick has more ridiculous riff sequences in a span of five seconds than other lesser guitarists have in their discographies. fucking part II of annwn, theres so many riffs in so little time it all kind of melds together into a tight knit brilliant guitar composition. his style is pretty much the opposite of a lot of noted experimental guitar composers, ala branca and chatham. those dudes use relatively simple riffs, but through repetition, layering, volume, and feedback create these huuuuuuge hypnotic compositions. mick barr on the other hand plays a million riffs ridiculously fast and throws them together and makes a composition. now usually i hate that style of guitar playing, as you have to be a virtuoso to pull it off, but lets face it, mick barr is a fucking virtuoso. and the amazing thing is his style has the same effect as branca and chatham, hypnotic and mesmerizing, but his is through speed and the weaving of guitar lines instead of repetiion.
also, bands that have great fucking guitar riffs that are a little wierd:
dazzling killmen
u.s. maple
polvo
yowie
zeni geva
sightings (i love their heavily distorted riffs, especially their earlier barely audible stuff)
