need some -very- heavy guitar riff samples

I'm a keyboardist/songwriter and I really need one or more libraries of incredibly heavy guitar riffs for a new project. I've experimented with the demo of Musiclab's RealGuitar but I've come far closer to the sound I want chopping the hell out of the few free riffs online, like some of the ones found at that Freesound Project site..

I need mostly chunky, very aggressive rhythm guitar stuff. I'm probably going to pick up Monzter Guitar but I'm a little concerned that it's a Kontakt-based sampler and I won't have the ability to chop the samples however I want without first dubbing all the riffs out of the sampler format -- ideally I want to layer slices of the riff to different keys.

This seems like the best place to ask -- does anyone have any suggestions? I thought I'd find an endless number of libraries, but I'm not having much luck. Ideally I wouldn't be paying for a sample CD that's 70% full of drum and synth loops because I'm all set on that front with my own material. Price isn't really an obstacle as long as the library is very good.

Thanks very much for any help,

Aren't the Monzter Guitar samples delivered as wave files?
Another great option is http://www.getdistorted.com/ , there are loops and a multisampled library.

Thanks, the demos on that getdistorted site are really quite good -- but again, it lists Kontakt and Giga formatted libraries. I don't have either of those applications, so ... I dunno. I'll ask about .wav file inclusion and report back here in case anyone else is wondering.

I have the Distorted-Library myself, it's definitely .wav files and usable without Kontakt.
