So, is there any bands out there that are are actually worth a listen or is it just the same old guff re-hashed?

Is there good popular metal music being produced by young bands? No.
Is the most popular segment of underground metal producing good music? For the most part, no - it's dominated by redundant, flash in the pan bands playing the most en vogue genres, which at this moment is post black metal, progressive noodly noodly metal, and deathcore.
Anyways, I'd avoid Devin Townsend. The best he can approach is fun, but generally speaking his music is overproduced to a degree which is painful.
