I thought metal was more popular than ever. Maybe my perception is skewed because I’ve been going to plenty of metal festivals in recent years, but all the subgenres have representation from what I can see.
If you have some examples, I might have some recommendations. Mainstream popularity is a weird thing now as there are more listeners for every genre. Metal is where I have spent most of my life being a fan so I may have something in the bank you’d like.
Gruesome - they fully embrace that era and ape it pretty well.
Cryptopsy - a bit more tech death but lots of that Chuck style guitar work.
Tomb Mold - these guys rip live, are named after a bloodborne item and make sweet ass old school death metal.
Undeath - another band that keeps the classic death metal spirit alive. The production on this album is pure early 90’s Florida. They also fucking destroy live.
Metal. Actual heavy metal. Not eyeliner and painted nails metal. I guess it was never really mainstream so maybe not a resurgence.

I think metal’s still going strong, but OP said heavy metal. If they meant classic heavy metal, there’s not many new artists doing that.
No love for Twisted Sister and WASP?
I got love for them, but let’s keep them in the 80’s.
