    umm, got interpol - turn on the bright lights recently, thats pretty good..

    otherwise these if you havent heard ..

    tool - aenima
    tool - lateralus
    sikth - the trees are dead and dried out, wait for something wild

    all really good albums, much more depth to the music than a lot of bands

    *edit* oh new bands? well those albums are all still amazing ;p sikth are relatively new compared...

    umm maybe something by wintersun

    try...
    hell is for heroes - the neon handshake
    massive attack - mezzanine
    not exactly new bands but its whats been in my cd player lately.

    the only new band i've been listening to is the magic numbers. quite good but the association with my ex gf (she gave it to me) puts a downer on the whole thing :(

    if your into heavy / melodic metal try killswitch engage's first studio album or Bullet for My Valentine's recent release. all good but an aquired taste.

    Test Icicles - they're quite alternative, not bad music.
