I really like hard, dangerous riffs.
Probably more instrumental than singing.
I like growling and screaming better, but I HATE screamo/bands with guys who have pop voices and scream.
I don't really like scratchy deep voices, I don't really know how to explain that, which is why I lean towards older rock.
Any recommendations?

If you like Opeth then you`ll probably like the whole Swedish death metal scene of which you can try bands like In Flames, At the Gates, Dark Tranquillity amongst many others. Also Finnish band Children of Bodom are another great option. Max Cavalera era Sepultura will give you in my opinion the ultimate thrash/groove metal experience and bringing you right up to date with the groove thing try Lamb of God the true heirs to the Pantera throne who growl out the vocals!
All of the above are pretty mainstream and theirs a whole load of more obscure or experimental sounding stuff you could get into as well.
Another band to look at would be the Melvins a sludge and experimental metal band that were hugely influential on grunge back in the day.
Finally Opeth, do you just like the death metal stuff of the mellower stuff they often do?
