EDIT: To jackhammer, who is saying that metal has essentially stayed the same for 20 years; you're not listening to the right things. Out of all the genre's of music, I'd go so far to say metal (specifically the outer fringes of it) has been a hotbed of creativity for the past almost 20 years. Ever since Scream Bloody Gore, metal has been on a strange and turbulent path that has seen the release of such monstrous epics as Lykathea Aflame's Elvenefris, Cynic's Focus, Martyr's Warp Zone, Ephel Duath's Pain Necessary To Know, and countless others.

Metal is still very much alive. You just have to know where to look.
