I'm partial to doom riffs so I gotta give love to Electric Funeral as the granddaddy. It's simple but so good.

The Cromlech Gate by Enslaved is super heavy and maybe my actual favorite, followed by too many by Candlemass tracks to mention. Ocean Demon by Runemagick is a series of great riffs.

But Tony is god so I can't neglect Patterns by Iommi and Follow the Tears by Heaven & Hell which are good 'n' heavy too.
