Otep, Meshuggah and SYL I would agree with as being awesome alt metal bands.
The Strapping Young Lad/Meshuggah concert I went to rocked the fuck out of me. Meshuggah's pit was the weirdest, most original pit I've ever been in.
As for Tomahawk...FUCK TOMAHAWK! I'm sorry, but did ANY of you see them when they toured with Tool? I wanted to throw my boot into that singers mouth. There's a song where I swear to god all he said was "WAGAWAGAWAGA!"
As for other metal acts to enjoy, try Pigs of War or Deicide (both old-school death metal), both of which are currently making a come back. Saw them in concert together, great fucking show.
