I'm talking the real heavy stuff. Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Death, that kind of stuff. Or even black metal. Really deep, drop tuned, shreddy, stereoized, compressed, gated, rack tuned, palm muted bar chord hell.
Seems like all the "heavy metal" sounds on people's sample sites sound like slightly edgy ZZ Top riffs played through an amp they bought at Sears.
Where can I get me some death metal guitar riffs

Maybe its because Death Metal is a lot less popular than Heavy and Rock, so all sample producers think that making that kind of samples would be a financial disaster.
You have to get a clean guitar sample library, construct your own riffs and then put the clean sound through some good amp simulator or reamp it with a real amplifier.

Check out the different amp manufacturers websites.A lot of them have demos of their amps. Of course you cannot use them on a release but if it is for personal use only who's going to know ?
Check out Diezel,Randall,Engl,Bogner,Soldano,VHT,Mesa Boogie etc.

Kind of a shame, any given rhythm guitarist from one of those bands could probably just record himself while goofing around and make some money off that missing niche. And death metal is not terribly popular, but bands like Slayer, Korn and Pantera are/were, and the stuff I am hearing on these sample CDs isn't exactly as grating or powerful as any of them. Also I guess the assumption is that most people who want hard guitar riffs are gonna wanna record them, but they did not count on people as lazy as me.Mutant wrote: Maybe its because Death Metal is a lot less popular than Heavy and Rock, so all sample producers think that making that kind of samples would be a financial disaster.

Well, you *could* try ccmixter.org, where ppl are providing samples under the creative commons license. Or just search google for "creative commons" "metal" or so.
An other way would be to record your own (do you play guitar?) and process the samples heavily using a guitar amp vst (for example that great "juicy 77", freeware that emulates a hi gain soldano amp (http://www.kvraudio.com/get/2010.html).
I had decent results by cutting up guitar samples (for those damped riffs) and distorting it *afterways*. Depends on what you want to do: hard industrial guitars are easier to program than those extremist black metal guitars...
BTW: you can get many instruments to sound guitar-like - ever tried to distort heavily a rhodes piano? good for simulating tappings/soloing etc. (even if tappings don't belong that much to nowadays extremist metal genres, right?!)
One trick to transform a long, sustained guitar chord could be to chop it via a gate which allows side chaining as slim slow sliders' side chain gate (http://www.kvraudio.com/get/1617.html).
Trigger the gate with a bassdrum or so and you will get a chopped up guitar signal.
Peace

Audiowarrior.com has a REX2 loop set called Axe-N-Skin, which has drum loops and extreme guitar loops. The best results I've gotten though for Death Metal/downtuned riffs without using a real guitar....is with Monzter Guitar samples from Precisionsound.net. You have to construct your own riffs from a MIDI keyboard or your piano roll though. The tuning is low as hell too....drop c, low b, and I think the 5ths are down as far as drop A.

Hello!
Found this tread by searching on our company name
Our Monzter Guitars are probably the only sample library really created for true death metal music by real death metal producers who know how it should sound...
PLEC is an acclaimed producer in this music genre and the result is not like putting a guitar thru a POD… it's the real thing, compressed/EQed/mastered the right way with the right equipment.
Listen to the demos at our site.
