WORLD RIFF BATTLE - Which Continent Has the Best Metal Riffs?

My most ambitious project to date! I searched far and wide for great metal riffs from every continent to put together this epic world riff battle. The result is this compilation that showcases metal from over 20 countries with a mix of popular, underground, older, and newer selections of all sub genres, many from places you may not have thought to look before. Which continent do YOU think has the best riffs? Did any surprise you?
