Try Meshugah. Those guys are insane. I definitely would have a hard time comparing them to other metal acts, unless I got lazy and said the singer yells, and the guitars are chunky distorted all the time. There's plenty of good new metal, just like every genre, there's also a ton of almost good, talented stuff that doesn't grab you.
Meshuggah are indeed insane. Poly rhythmic 8-string madness. Another massively talented bunch of guys expanding the boundaries of metal in my opinion are Cephalic Carnage.

See I was bred on slayer, megadeth (up to peace sells) exodus, anthrax, destruction, celtic frost, kreator, motorhead, metalica (pre cock rock era), mercyful fate, dri, sod, nuclear assult, suicidal......
Sounds like CC should be right up your alley. Some of the greatest riffage ever recorded.
