I was just scanning but I believe I saw someone mention Boy Sets Fire.... I don't find them unique at all, as a matter of fact, them and Stretch Arm Strong are complete knockoffs of one another.
As for another unique one, I'll agree with Opeth, really the only Death Metal band to do the other kinds of stuff they've been doing and also Porcupine Tree, very hard to find any other bands that sound like them.
others....
Massive Attack
Turbonegro (maybe not soundwise but the whole 'thing' they do is THEIRS and ONLY theirs)
Dead Kennedys
Bad Brains
Dillinger Escape Plan (there's nothing even REMOTELY similar to the way they play out there..... some botched imitations but nothing similar.)
Glassjaw (the way their sound is thick and layered is really rather unique)
Snapcase (for lyrical content)
Slayer (however oft imitated, never equaled)
