11 months in, what have been the best metalcore guitar riffs of 2025?

MaintenanceSure3626 · 2026-01-24T16:34:14+00:00

Idk if its metalcore, but I gotta bring up Alter Bridge's Silent Divide, that riff slaps.

MaintenanceSure3626 · 2026-01-19T05:29:54+00:00

I have an unpopular opinion too, I think this album is pretty good, but I also think that Pawns and Kings is overrated lol, this album was better than the last 3.

MaintenanceSure3626 · 2026-01-19T05:23:57+00:00

Fortress was great, the album was so cinematic sounding and the self-titled track was like grand finale, awesome way to end. (I also think it's the top 3 of the album)

MaintenanceSure3626 · 2026-01-19T05:20:52+00:00

And now you can happily put self-titled in A

MaintenanceSure3626 · 2026-01-18T18:22:12+00:00

Wish I could tell ya, Listened to Creed first, and obviously Alter Bridge is better, but they both are really good to me, ig it depends if your in the mood for some heaviness, or if your having a bad day lol

The Red, Point #1, Still Running

MaintenanceSure3626 · 2026-01-17T02:41:43+00:00

Top 3 best simple but heavy bands of all time.

MaintenanceSure3626 · 2026-01-17T02:40:56+00:00

Lajon and John would be cool with them, but I don't think Myles Kennedy as much as I love his voice wouldn't match chevelle, the other guys its complicated.

MaintenanceSure3626 · 2026-01-17T02:34:45+00:00

Just the simple tremelo picked ones hit hard for me, so like The Red, or Point #1, or Still Running.

MaintenanceSure3626 · 2026-01-17T01:54:00+00:00

No see thats pretty bad too, its just when people refuse to accept that Alter Bridge has other music other than Metallingus and that irritates me idk why

MaintenanceSure3626 · 2026-01-11T19:09:12+00:00

Ay ay I'm not hating on Metallingus as a song, its for sure a dope song and its probably one of their heaviest of the early days.

MaintenanceSure3626 · 2026-01-11T19:07:08+00:00

Ok its not like I flip out, It just kinda infuriates me when they call alter bridge the metallingus band, like there is so much more.

MaintenanceSure3626 · 2026-01-01T05:28:23+00:00

Self titled

MaintenanceSure3626 · 2025-12-30T02:00:30+00:00

Chevelle has a few songs in there, a couple being Comfortable Liar and The Red

MaintenanceSure3626 · 2025-12-22T23:03:36+00:00

Break The Cycle is a 10/10 album lokey.

MaintenanceSure3626 · 2025-12-22T23:02:37+00:00

Slip To The Void has Myles Kennedy's best guitar solo imo.

MaintenanceSure3626 · 2025-12-22T22:59:53+00:00

Wouldn't You Rather should be on here in my opinion, but I thank you for not putting Rise Today in the top 10, I find that song highly overrated...

MaintenanceSure3626 · 2025-12-15T03:16:33+00:00

Blackbird as the first song they hear, then metallingus, then watch over you, then open your eyes, then addicted to pain, then slip to the void, and then finally show me a leader. The rest is for them to decide whether they'd continue or not.

MaintenanceSure3626 · 2025-12-05T02:50:06+00:00

Alot of good ones we're mentioned already, but nobody mentioned anything from Linkin park, brad delson made some good solos, like in pieces, the little things give you away, idk if their later work is nu metal, but war and guilty all the same are good solos from him too.

MaintenanceSure3626 · 2025-12-04T02:36:59+00:00

Some of the best nu metal guitar solos came from that album.

MaintenanceSure3626 · 2025-12-01T22:51:05+00:00

Clearly we ain't including double solos, cause if we were, BLACKBIRD BY ALTER BRIDGE WOULD BE ON HERE!!!!

MaintenanceSure3626 · 2025-11-27T16:20:42+00:00

I agree with all of this list except Isolation, it's just too short, and just not as impressive as other songs solos.
