Riff C  (sounds like he switches to some kind
         of death metal distortion maybe)
e|---------------|----------|
B|---------------|----------|

D|---7------12/--|--7---7/--|
A|---7------12/--|--7---5/--|
E|---5------10/--|--5-------|

For Riff C, play all downstrokes.
I have shown two ways of doing it.
Either way sounds good to me.
Play whichever is easiest for you.

After Riff C, the song goes back to a slower, bluesy Riff B
then into the solo which is back by Riff A, then the end.
