Based on what I see on Pitchfork, metal is "hip" right now. Generally, I'm skeptical about any indie rock/metal crossover, but in this case the instrumental bits remind me enough of a heavier Dif Juz that I enjoy it.

I just don't think I can get past my skepticism. I kind of miss the old days of very little or no crossover between indie/punk and metal.

I was blessed all of my life for loving metal cause metal was uncool... now tehy tend to make it fashionable and this makes me sick

There is a vice documentary on modern black metal that is kind of interesting but it didn't leave me wanting to go out and buy a bunch of the profiled groups' records. The only modern black metal band I really liked was Weakling, and their LP is almost 15 years old at this point.
For black metal, I'd rather just listen to Bathory, or any of the albums from the Scandinavian second wave I got into back in the mid-90s. There are a few bands I missed the first time around, like Vinterland, that I really enjoyed discovering over the last year or so.
I could probably say the same thing for death metal. The only "new" death metal I've bothered getting was the new Gorguts album, which is quite good. My problem with modern death metal mostly stems from the slick, clicky production, overly tech songwriting, and loudness war mastering...it gives me headache and there really isn't that I like enough about it to warrant a real deep dive into it.

yeah, 1st and second wave BM is what i like the most. some of those early bands still make good records(like abigor and darkthrone), but it can be very hit or miss.
most of the death metal i like is the older stuff. the problems you list are basically my problems with it, as it all starts sounding the same and too overproduced. there are still some good og bands putting out good records-suffocation, incantation and immolation come to mind. for new stuff i would recommend disma and funebrarum, which both feature darly kahan from citizens arrest(on guitar for disma and sings for the latter). pure old school DM worship, but not a direct carbon copy.
Michele wrote:darkthrone last records are great, but honestly they did a lot of good albums and have a solid discography, probably they're my actual fave band coming from the old wave, even if I couldnìt call their actual stuff black metal.
I really love latest Enslaved stuff, but even they looks to eb far from what the original BM phormula was about, so I prefer to mention them as extreme metal with a psych/prog side.
Coming to other bands with a link or roots in the BM scene I would like to mention Triptykon, Ephel Duath, Ihsanh solo albums and Ulver
