Anyways, I have the Exodus album, still haven't got to it. High on Fire was pretty disappointing, no hooks, no interesting riffs. I like Devin Townsend but can't be bothering to checking him out. I'll look into Pelican, keep hearing about them.

LOL - I've seen that affection for the aformentioned bands hence me starting this thread. I actually don't mind some of that stuff as well, but it's not my general preference. If I want to listen to something more "alternative" I'll throw on some Dinosaur Jr., Failure or the amazing Jeff Buckley
That new Pelican (or any their discs is worth checking out. One forewarning is that it is all instrumental - which you may or may not dig. I saw them on at the Underground in Calgary about a year ago and it was amazing.
That Exodus is a great disc more so because they somewhat break that same old Thrash mold they are known for. I refer to them as the AC/DC of Thrash. This new disc sees them expand on their sound adding some a lot more melody as well as some more adventurous stuff (at least for them). I think it may be the addition of Heathen guitarist, Lee Altus.
Also forgot about that new Monster Magnet. I did like the couple of times I listened to it. Could be one of those "growers". I still prefer their early stuff (such as 25...Tab and Spine of God) that is a lot more trippy/spacey/epic though.
