Addition of Motive in Creeping Death

 

 

In “Creeping Death” from the album Ride the Lightning, a riff variation is created by adding a transposition of a motive to the original.  The main riff of the song is a two-measure phrase in E minor that includes a motive composed of an alternation of root notes and inverted power chords on E (labeled x).
