I think most influential modern could be nearly impossible to pin down, given the vast popularity and variety of metal subgenres today. Really if we're saying influential as who spawned the most clones, probably Tool. But even then there's other bands of a different unique vein who spawned their own series of experimentation.
Truly.... a tough question.
