Any Xennial metalheads out there? Recommend me some modern metal that will jive with my Xennial sensibilities.

I’m a 46yo former metalhead who started out with Maiden and Metallica in the late ’80s and early ’90s. Then I got into Slayer and Sepultura for a while, but everything changed when a friend introduced me to Slaughter of the Soul by At the Gates. That was it. That was my thing! That led me to In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, and eventually, Opeth. Blackwater Park took up permanent residence in the first slot of my Plymouth Neon’s six disc CD changer for like three years. 

But then, life happened, and I drifted away from metal (and music in general, to be honest). Lately, I’ve been craving some new stuff. I’ll fire up Spotify to see what’s out there, but I just get overwhelmed and end up listening to the same bands from my 20s.

So, given my metal history (especially my love for Blackwater Park), what newer bands or albums should I check out? And what did I miss over the last couple of decades that I should catch up on?
