Testament is a great example of classic metal that keeps getting better. But what did they do? They kept getting heavier. Grabbed Gene Hoglan to play drums, graveled Chuckie Billy's voice a bit more and released "Demonic". Just this year they released a new one ("The Formation Of Damnation") and it is freakin' solid. Post-cancer Billy will still knock your lights out.

And even nu-metal can be well-executed. Between the Buried and Me (http://www.betweentheburiedandm... is a prime example of death/melodic vocals over a structure of solid songwriting and talent.
