Bobaflex would be my first recommendation. They aren't nu metal, but they are a more radio-friendly metal band with no shouting. Iced Earth are another one you might want to check. Nonpoint too. They're still putting out music. Trivium too, both old and new. I prefer them after Shogun and not before, so that's where I'd start.
Amaranthe might be another one to check out. It's a fun mix of sounds, though once again, not nu metal.
If you're into power metal, I got some recs there. Lot of clean singing to be had with some really fun guitar, though none of it's as gritty sounding as some of the stuff you've posted
Sonic Syndicate/The Unguided might be worth a look then. They do a fairly even split. Start with Hell Frost by The Unguided and Only Inhuman by Sonic Syndicate. They're the same band save like one member. Record labels had them disband and come back or some nonsense.
I actually like quite a few of the bands he named.

What do you consider excessive shouting?

Really? Might've had an off night but that sucks to hear
I've seen them 3 or 4 times now, always enjoy them but they haven't been as good as the first time I saw them in 2012 (when they basically just played Monolith in full)
Don't think their last album comes anywhere close to Monolith and it seems they play a lot of it
an amazing song and excellent performance, but is probably lost in translation so to speak

Yea most of the set was the last album, which I like so that wasn't really my problem. Their performance was just a mess. When they were able to hold it together it sounded pretty good but then it would unravel and just be sloppy.

Going down the rabbit hole of obscure/whatever bands I tend to neglect the classics. Occasionally I'll come back and be like "oh right, this rules".
Today's "oh right" : Sepultura - Schizophrenia
This is a pretty alright live vid of them
Today's "oh right" : Sepultura - Schizophrenia
That really blows. They're usually very tight live. (Can't say I love them adding a second guitarist but whatever)

Good pick. Haven't listened to this in ages.
Speaking of ... man, what the fuck happened to Sepultura.

Pretty solid album, I used to listen to Schizophrenia quite often. Inquisition Symphony is a killer instrumental track. However the whole album is completely overshadowed and fucked by riffs on the next album....

Never forget:

I prefer Schizophrenia over Beneath the Remains, it is still so raw and has enough punch from hitters like "To the Wall" to stand up with anything in their discography

Weird suggestion but does anyone know of any bands that mix flamenco with metal?
I found these guys:

If you want to go down the metalcore-route then try Unearth - The Oncoming Storm and Killswitch Engage - The End of Heartache.
And if you are looking for more in the vein of Rise Against and melodic hardcore then try Ignite - Our Darkest Days and Strung Out - Transmission​.​Alpha​.​Delta.

You could try some European symphonic metal like Epica, Amaranthe or Nightwish if you don't like growling. Or as someone else suggested, Metalcore like Killswitch Engage, As I lay Dying, Wovenwar, Unearth or Mutiny Within. Or Machinehead or Avatar. Or Sabaton if you want a fun history lesson
Or southern Metal like Black Stone Cherry, Shamans Harvest or Monster Truck.
or some Traditioanal rock bands like Rev Theory, Red Line Chemistry, Highly Suspect, Royal Blood, The pretty reckless or Kaleo.
Or of course, 90s grunge.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
There's another new track from the Extremity record coming out next month. This might be one of the best debuts of the year.

Not terribly surprising
They've been a festival band since their reunion, put out their mediocre comeback album that no one cared about, and stayed a festival band
I'm sure at a certain point it becomes tiring, even if you can make decent money from it
Had really high hopes for the album, really liked the first song they put out but then it came out and every song was just the same thing. Pretty much every song had an intro and it felt super bloated. Only other interesting song was like Heroes and Tombs because it's weirdly a beatdown hardcore song lol

Yeah, stoked for MDF again this year. That Saturday lineup at Soundstage especially is gonna be rad. Check out Fiend from CA if you haven't yet.

It's been a slow year so far, nothing is really catching my attention. No new atmospheric BM, or Folk/Pagan, or even in the genres I'm just kind of into like prog or DM. Not that I've found anyway.

Full Of Hell - Deluminate
Song is good but I'm not sure I love the production. Will probably sound much better on actual speakers (or my car speakers where i do most of my music listening) but it doesn't sound too great on my laptop speakers. Drums kind of sound buried?
