My kinda thread! Some of these aren't the absolute hardest, but still hard in their own right.

My favs include these parts:

-SNIP-
Nice one!

:metal

Randaran

Some of my favorites:

When the distorted guitars enter in PMU
LTL, the second verse
The Mirror, especially the outro
PS's second half
BtL, right before the instrumental section. This may not be all that heavy, but it is one of their most aggressive riffs.
TGP in its entirety, along with the rest of the 12SS
All of Train of Thought
TDEN, probably my favorite heavy song of theirs
BITS, the moment the guitars enter is one of my favorite DT moments
BTV, I love this one. One of their best concise songs

Podaar

For me, it's The Test That Stumped Them All. Timestamp :35...dat riff.   :metal :metal

Hell yeah. If I had to choose just one heavy DT riff, that'd be it.

Scarred: https://youtu.be/G6SjyRLKy70?t=2m28s

The Mirror: DAT Simple Riff: https://youtu.be/P-k2JSZd_Qw?t=2m20s

The Glass Prison: DESE Riffs: https://youtu.be/gwDgX7Un3AQ?t=1m55s  and https://youtu.be/gwDgX7Un3AQ?t=2m13s

The Test That Stumped Them All: https://youtu.be/h3JO8awhZnA?t=36s (For some reason, I feel like this riff is DT's heaviest moment. Heavy in an energetic sense, not really a dark sense. Either this, or The Glass Prison.)

Learning To Live: https://youtu.be/GjXe9Jd209Y?t=3m10s

A Change Of Seasons: https://youtu.be/mZKrwJzGg0k?t=1m40s

Sacrificed Sons: https://youtu.be/3nBpLzNwkZw?t=7m18s

Bridges In The Sky: https://youtu.be/S1fNCc_whtU?t=1m49s

Honor Thy Father: https://youtu.be/KGHXy9Fa45k?t=9m24s

In The Name Of God: https://youtu.be/ruxeHJEdh20?t=10m7s (Specifically here when it comes back in after the unison solo)

On The Backs Of Angels: https://youtu.be/oasnbzEMV08?t=1m55s

Peruvian Skies: https://youtu.be/dr0ebtzSeWM?t=4m19s (Love all 3 back to back riffs)

Pull Me Under: https://youtu.be/SGRgAULYgWE?t=1m16s

These Walls: https://youtu.be/MzovR0s7EbI?t=6m27s

Quote from: Evermind on October 26, 2014, 12:54:13 PMI think The Mirror is one of their best heavy songs. That's the first that comes to mind.
yes absolutely, this is the best, the end
turns out signatures are fundamentally broken now so here's my passive-aggressive signature about signatures instead
