I'll start with an odd one, Drowning the Light stealing from ...Drowning the Light:

The end of "Gone" from "An Alignment of Dead Stars" is reused in "Silver so Cold on my Eyelids" from the Circle of Ouroborus split. Good riff, but, come on...

"slower sections" and I heard similar riff even at Testament of Unholy Presence by Father Befouled.

Can't remember the names of the tracks but I know that KILL on "Inverted Funeral" has stolen a well known riff by...

PINK FLOYD (from one song of the live in Pompei, can't remember either)

Always found these sounding kinda similar, first riff:

Black Witchery: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4a0dkq5HVM&playnext=1&list=PL5E0E6A45D36250B1

Amorphis blatantly ripped off a riff in the song Exile the Son of Uisilu from Iron Maidens Alexander the Great.

Beginning of Sadomator's "Goatzone Massacre (1944)" is just like Beherit's "Paradise of Thy Demonic Host".
