But really let's just say 2008.
I've only heard of two of those bands (Meshuggah and Deafheaven). I'm so far out of the game these days with the current metal scene.

Weird to think that Leviathan isnt even a "past decade" album anymore.
Mastodon has several albums that should be considered top tier metal albums, Leviathan, Crack the Skye, and Emperor of Sand are all excellent.
Between the Buried and Me- Coma Ecliptic and The Parallax I and II are excellent. BTBAM are my favorite current metal band now that Dillinger has called it quits. Speaking of which...
Dillinger Escape Plan- Option Paralysis, One of Us Is the Killer, and Dissociation are all great. DEP was the best live show on the planet, but now they are done and I am sad.
Animals as Leaders are incredible. Periphery is usually pretty great. If you like really heavy dark stuff Behemoth is mind blowing.
Lots of great metal out there currently, but most of it is off any mainstream radar.
