I'd definitely give some things a listen. Gimme your best shot(s)!

The very few metal bands I cared about big time in recent years
(as in caring on a level where it isn't dwarfed by my favorites in other genres):

Stam1na

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lO5_a05wHVE

The Agonist (current iteration of the band)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WEycITU9p4

Dir En Grey

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyvIVC4vU3c

Arkona

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bW0-UxyXpUo

Jinjer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FC3djB7-nc0

...and that's kind of just about it. Some more good albums exist that I liked but didn't love.

As far as old school bands go, I don't think I can realistically consider myself a big fan of any of them any longer. Not even Megadeth.

You're like Rod and Tod Flanders grew up and started smoking clove cigarettes.

I hope experimental metal doesn't just mean a bunch of spastic extreme metal with black metal vocals and sudden obligatory melodic interludes.

He probably means experimental metal, not black metal.

I'm not being serious. Although I feel like "experimental" metal I've checked out in the past tends to sound oddly predictable. I'll be surprised to hear anything that actually feels fresh. But part of that is how people tend to throw around the "experimental" label a bit too liberally.

Thy Catafalque doesn't qualify as experimental in my mind. It's a bunch of well known musical elements and it's mostly unique in some minor ways that has to do with the specifics of how it combines things. It's not terribly forward thinking. Thy Catafalque sometimes sound a bit like if Deep Forest decided to make black metal. If that's experimental, then so is Limp Bizkit or any other band with a mildly novel sound.

Also, related to that, I grew tired of that new album disappointingly fast. The Catafalque album. Not the Biscuit. Not that there is a new soggy cracker album.
