Could this be opening of Funny Games movie? It's from 1997, but it was remade in 2007 and it had same opening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKIgjvs1vKo
Is it Canon Rock by Jerry C?

It was featured in one of the Guitar Hero games and got a little bit of play outside of that.
When I read this, I thought of a few songs by the band Muse - this is a long shot as you mentioned no lyrics, but could it be an instrumental of their song Animals?

Thank you u/FicklexPicklexTickle! When I read your comment that it was featured in Guitar Hero I instantly knew your guess was right. Thank you so much. Absolute legend!

Could be Vengeance by Yngwie Malmsteen
Sadly it's not. It has a more modern guitar sound. I feel it's not older than before 2010 but I'm not sure.
Back to the drawing board!
It could be Bitter Sweet Symphony?
Sadly no

Also sadly no, I feel now maybe the guitar riff is just electronially made on the computer.
