In like 90% of metal, the bassist is playing the same riffs as the guitars, except where the guitars are playing notes the bass can’t hit, in which case it will be a variation of the riff.
The other 10% of the time it’s like technical death metal where the bassist could be playing its own thing. I’m not to sure about that though. Overwhelmingly across all metal genres the bass is playing the riff though.
