One of the most fascinating qualities of a great riff is its ability to hook you in from the first few notes and leave you a different person on the other side.

This is best represented on Primordial Sky, the latest album by Denver’s Oryx, who present riffs through a unique sense of dynamics and tone for an entire 40-minute journey.

Join us this week as we chat with the band about their favorite riffs and how they achieved this on Primordial Sky
