Metal's too diverse to point to any one thing, but generally it's the rif***e. But even subgenre to subgenre I might be looking for different things from those riffs. If I'm listening to heavy metal or thrash then give me just plain ol' sick riffs, with something like technical death or thrash metal or black metal I'm going to have more concern for the riffs' textures, or with doom metal then they've got to have atmosphere as well as be heavy and sick.
