Maybe something from Waltari, if they count.

Waltari - Helsinki

Not necessarily that song, although it's one of my faves for sure.

I wouldn't know how to define alt metal either, but that Waltari song definitely sounds like alt metal to me.

It was pretty good too, never really listened to them before despite being aware of them for years. I've been meaning to check them out for a while, what's an album you'd recommend as a good starting point?

Aww come on it's not about quality, L7 is above any such considerations. It's just glorious.
I'm not much of a grunge person generally but keep grungeing up this thread, I kinda like this Butthole Surfers stuff

Waltari are a bit of an odd bunch. The only album I've heard from them is Big Bang but I like experimental alt metal so I could see myself listening to more of them in the future.

Nothingface are one of my favorite alt metal groups. They were fairly active until last year when their lead singer, Matt Holt, died. Really unfortunate. Not a huge fan of this song but they didn't make many music videos so this is the best I can do. I recommend looking at stuff from their album Violence from 2000.

Helmet, a classic:

And Mudvayne dressed like idiots but played some good music.

Here's a better Nothingface song with a video:

To keep in with the grunge theme:

They're kind of all over the place, but I'd say Torcha! or Big Bang from earlier in their discography. Below Zero or Release Date from their later discography.

Below Zero might be a good starting point for a metalhead, actually, since that one is a bit more stylistically focused.
