There's that cat that plays piano and it's alot less dissonant than this riff. This sounds like a cat being put through a blender. Alright. The secret to riffs is minor chords and a minor penatonic scale. Most riffs use those two things. Chromatic notes are used but only on the less important beats. Otherwise it ends up sounding like Brazlian Death Metal (or just Death Metal in general but with the exception of serialism Brazilian Death Metal is the worst sounding thing I can think off; I'm refering to all ther serialism after the Second Viennese School)
