As said they've diversified a bit, but their trademark sound is what they do best and they themselves know it as well, they've certainly got the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" mentality. As far as that brutal, fast and relentless pummeling sound goes nobody does it better than Slayer, if they do manage to do it better, Slayer still have years of consistency on their side.
I don't think anybody can doubt the commercial importance of Metallica and agree if they hadn't cracked it, hardly anybody outside of extreme metal would've heard of Slayer.
