suggest some metal bands/genres?

I basically want to start getting into different kinds of metal. I am a huge fan of thrash already, but I really only listen to Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest. So please suggest me some other good thrash metal especially stuff that is fairly new). I also like a couple nu metal bands like Disturbed, System Of a Down, and Chevelle. I definitely do not want to hear any hardcore/screamo. I like a few Amon Amarth songs. I also like most 70's and 80's metal ranging from Black Sabbath to Twisted Sister. I am just trying to get into some different kinds of metal.
I am open to anything, but please suggest me some Black, Doom, Glam, Power, Progressive, and Thrash Metal
