Dub heads with metal leanings should check out:

This is a mix Bong Ra did that mixes noise/industrial/drone metal with sick dubstep (Broken note, King Cannibal)

Absolutely nuts

Metallica used to rule, back in the 80s, until they ran out of Clif Burtons music and began trying to do the alternative thing.

As for the heavier stuff, you have to look more underground nowdays in order to find death metal that isnt trying to sound exactly like all the other death metal.

Of course this seems to be a symptom of any genre of music....

I still listen to metal now and then. Nothing recent though. Here's a few I keep in rotation:

Metallica - ...and Justice for all (their best album imo)
Pantera - Far Beyond Driven
Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power
Sepultra - Chaos Ad
Iron Maiden - a bunch of tunes I downloaded ages ago

Here recently I've been listening to Rage Against the Machine's first two albums. The self titled album is like 17 years old now! Both discs still sound fresh to this day. So many bands tried to copy that style. Easily two of my favorite albums. Very well produced too.

Nooooo

Metallica - ride the lightning (there's something about that intro that just seems magical somehow)
Megadeth - countdown to extinction
Testament - the gathering
Trivium - shogun (these guys are getting slated by a lot but they used to be my favourite band)
Slayer - reign in blood

Dub trio are wicked aswell, instrumental metal that chnages to dub before your very eyes.

Mastadon - Solid Metal.
Dillinger escape plan - maybe a bit too screamy for some people but technically brilliant. Not just another scremo/hardcore band.

Slayer, Carcass, Napalm Death, and Obituary are the only metal that ever mattered to me..... I'm listening to some youtube of some of these bands you guys are suggesting though, maybe I can find something I'll like. In Flames and Cradle of Filth are pretty good I guess too.

Oh yeah and Pantera's first 3 albums rock! I saw them on Dimebag's birthday once at the Spectrum in Philly, fucking amazing show!!!!

Always loved metal, still into mostly grind & death metal myself but not as much these days for pretty much the same reasons everyone is talking about. It started to get boring. I still listen to classics from bands like Necrophagia and Death, and newer classics from bands such as Cryptopsy, Behemoth, Nile, etc.

Man I heard some weird microkorg filled autotuned emo band not too long ago, and they were all dressed alike like some boyband too. It was pretty horrible.

Kind of unrelated but I found it hilarious.
Anyone into black metal? It's pretty lulz but some of it is good. Anyway If you were ever into guys like Burzum and Mayhem, or have read "Lords of Chaos" about these people and their murders and stuff they are finally turning it into a movie starring one of the kids from Twilight as Varg Vikernes (Burzum) lol. In 2010 corpse paint is the new emo: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1385582/
