Because most of the bands newly mentioned just sound like everyone else. There are very few individual bands in the Metal scene these days with far too many jumping on a tried and tested template or if they are a little different they don't get any mention because it seems not to be cool to dig them. The same happened in the late 80's with hundreds of Thrash bands that sounded the same. I have been listening to metal for over 20 years and only one or two new bands a year actually float my boat in terms of individuality or prowess.
Maybe you should delve back into older metal and maybe you might find a few gems and start commenting on them.
