Let's get our terminology clear here, so that we'll know what we're looking for. Neither Slipknot nor Korn are rock. They would be better classified as nu metal.
For the record, my tolerance of other people's tastes doesn't often extend to nu metal. Nu metal is metal light. It is the diet root beer of metal. And nothing about metal should be diet.
So now that I've said that, I'll make some suggestions. Look for the following bands:
Avenged Sevenfold
Black Label Society
King Diamond
Mercyful Fate
Anthrax
Damageplan
Pantera
PROBOT
I'm sure some of our more serious metalheads can offer a bit more, but that ought to be enough to start.
