On a slightly different, but related topic: Rock has been so awful to me for almost a decade now. Are there any good new bands out there that someone can suggest to me?

While not new bands they've only been active in the 2000s and still produce new music. Some of my favorite songs from each and the album they're from.

Avenged Sevenfold

Welcome to the Family https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGzIcLfRMcY (Nightmare, 2010)
Bat Country - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsZy3I6colo (City of Evil, 2005)
Afterlife - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdVMkIVtr9U (Avenged Sevenfold, 2007)

Rise Against

Satellite - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNv4JChWqA8 (Endgame, 2010)

Ah, I forgot all about Avenged Sevenfold. Bat Country used to be one of my workout songs. I haven't heard of the other two, but I'll check them out.
