White Zombie - Creature of the Wheel


0:00 mark.

Without a doubt the heaviest riff in the bands discography (Feed The Gods is a close second though). White Zombie went through a strange metamorphosis from their early beginnings as a New York City noise rock act to one of the biggest names in 90's mainstream heavy metal. 

This riff is obviously a product of spending far too much time with Pantera. This thick slab of riffage is sandwiched between samples from The Omega Man. Which is appropriate because you will get the sudden urge to roam the streets at night shooting members of "The Family". Well...not the family from the movie, members of someone's family. Maybe your own actually, nothing says domestic homicide like the first 28 seconds of this song, except for the riff that kicks in at the 0:29 mark, that is.

Bonus Riff time!


Two for the price of one! Don't say I never gave you anything.
