People should be more specific about the riffs they're referring to. There's more than one riff in Raining Blood and Black Sabbath.
Just out of interest which riff in these songs are your favorite?
 
Here's how people should do it:
Opening riff to Mayhem's Freezing Moon
The riff at 5:20 in Electric Wizard's Funeralopolis
Riff at 1:21 and 1:43 of Carcass' Swarming Vulgar Mass of Infected Virulency
First bass riff in Metallica's For Whom the Bell Tolls
Acoustic riff in Satyricon's Takkeslottet
Riff at 4:58 in Burzum's Inn I Slottet Fra Drømmen
Riff at :38 in Arch Enemy's Dark of the Sun
Opening riff of Nonexist's Ebony Towers
Riff at 1:30 in Om's On the Mountain at Dawn
A certain riff in A Mind Confused's Obliteration (I forget which one, and this band is very obscure)
Any riff in the first 10 or so minutes of Wyrd's Heathen
Riff at 2:31 in Windir's Arntor, Ein Windir (although that riff is apparently taken from a 500-year old Norske hymn or something) 

These aren't my all-time faves (at least probably--it'd be too hard to really dudge--these are just some really good ones).

i've been gettin into a band called Human Error lately, they're one of those bands that i only listen to for one particular part... and it's the guitar solos, this band has an amazing guitarist. other than that, they're pretty much a standard Melodic Death band, the clean vocals are especially awful, but the badass guitar melodies and solos more than make up for it. case in point: the first 5 seconds of this song

Yeah, Human Error is great. Got into them awhile back.
Should check out Archons and Lunarsea if you like them.

The main riff in Machine Head's Halo is incredible.  I believe it was voted one of the top 10 best riffs of the last Ten years or something.  Dream Theater's The Dark Eternal Night is great as well, and I believe it was featured on the same list.  Dead To Rights from DevilDriver has a Killer opening riff.  And if you like sheer chugginess, you can't go wrong with anything Ektomorf
